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

The following morning, the Peacock King reported that he had discussed with the various tribes and agreed to launch a joint attack three days later, with Consort Ge as the commander-in-chief.

Upon hearing the good news, Consort Ge burst into tears, kneeling before Chen Futu with red eyes, unable to speak.

If the Great Sage Emperor had not personally intervened, she would never have been able to avenge the blood feud that destroyed her kingdom.

Chen Futu grasped her soft little hand tightly. "I won't go this time. Xiaobai will wake up in three days, and you can take her with you."

"Your Majesty, from now on, I will gladly serve as a slave or a servant, even if it means working like an ox or a horse."

"You don't need to be a slave. You can rebuild your country, swear allegiance to the Great Xia, and unite with the Peacock Kingdom to consolidate your power."

"You're letting me stay in the Western Regions?"

"We need someone to manage things here. I'll leave you a bronze-armored corpse. The Shi family will also be your assistants. As for those leaders, they won't dare disobey your requests. They can come to the Peacock King for anything. In private, he will be your servant. Do you understand?"

"My concubine understands."

As she spoke, Consort Ge leaned closer to her, raised her snow-white cheeks, and placed Chen Futu's hand on her chest. "This concubine is willing to expand the territory for Your Majesty. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty."

Her meaning was clear: she wanted to offer herself to him.

Chen Futu hesitated for a moment, then removed her robes.

We can't leave her alone in the Western Regions without giving her anything to look forward to.

Before long, the day of the army's departure arrived. Chen Futu secretly summoned five thousand White Tiger Legion soldiers and handed them over to Ge Fei. The individual combat strength of the White Tiger Legion soldiers was at the Martial Grandmaster level, and the local forces could not stop them at all. She could make good use of them.

"Your Majesty, I'm leaving now."

When it was time to part, Consort Ge was reluctant to leave. Chen Futu kissed her cheek, making her blush.

She brought Xiaobai and Wang Zhaojun with her on this trip. After the matter is resolved, Xiaobai and Wang Zhaojun will return.

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Futu met with Bai Chen alone, wanting to ask him to stay by Ge Fei's side as a guard, to ensure everything was in order.

Bai Chen looked slightly embarrassed. "I am a person from the Sand Sea. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"If the desert has a request of me, I will agree."

“Alright, as long as the Holy Maiden has no objection, I can serve as a guard.”

Bai Chen had endured such a miserable life in the desert, so it was naturally a good thing that he could stay in the Western Regions. If it worked out, he planned to bring his Right Guard Legion out of the desert so that his brothers could enjoy themselves.

Yu Wang is dead. He was killed by Wang Zhaojun. He was a troublesome old man. If he hadn't died, he would have caused more trouble.

Following Chen Futu's orders, the Peacock King gave him a grand funeral and bestowed titles upon his sons, one high and one low, to incite them to hate each other.

The open turmoil in the ancient kingdom has temporarily subsided. Once the desert enters the scene and stabilizes the situation behind the scenes, there will be no more problems. Chen Futu only needs to wait to seize the dynasty's fortune.

Chen Futu took some time to visit the Shi family.

Shi Huolong had already told his wife some inside information, and the once gossipy wife dared not speak anymore, standing there with her head down, looking very reserved.

Chen Futu joked, "Isn't Madam going to introduce me to a wife?"

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? These women are not worthy of you. However, if you really want to find a beautiful girl, I can help you find one."

"lady……"

Shi Huolong kept giving him meaningful glances, saying that his wife was good in every way, except that she never kept her mouth shut.

Chen Futu laughed heartily, not caring about such things. He had only come to inform Shi Huolong to take over all of Fanlou's properties and manage them on behalf of the dynasty. In the future, a portion of the profits would be given to Consort Ge and the Peacock King, and the rest would be sent to the Great Xia.

The Shi family can also retain some benefits, and they can arrange the specifics themselves. Chen Futu believes that Shi Huolong is not a fool, and he will not touch money that he shouldn't take.

Shi Huolong understood perfectly well. Gu Dong knelt at his feet, expressing his gratitude profusely, and swore that he would definitely manage those industries well.

As long as he does his best, the historian's status can rise even higher in the future, and it is not impossible for him to be ennobled and granted a title.

After finishing their business matters, the Shen family father and daughter arrived. They were unaware of Chen Futu's identity, and Shi Huolong and the others didn't dare to reveal it.

Shen Lu said mysteriously to Chen Futu, "What have you been doing these past few days? Something big has happened in the city, did you know?"

"What's the big deal?"

"Our Great Sage Emperor personally visited Tianque City, destroyed the Brahma Tower, subdued all forces, and even those tribes all recognized the Great Xia as their suzerain state and honored the Great Sage Emperor as the Heavenly Khan."

I've heard a little about this.

Chen Futu deliberately feigned surprise, while Madam Shi laughed so hard her mouth twisted into a crook.

Young people really know how to have fun. I wonder what Shen Lu's expression would be if she knew that the Great Sage Emperor she admired most was the young hero in front of her.

Chen Futu happened to have nothing to do, so he took Shi Huolong and Shen Lu to see the Shen family's properties and the Shi family's Treasure Pavilion.

The Shen family owns three shops in Tianque City, but their business is pitifully small. When people from the Central Plains come to the Western Regions to do business, they do nothing more than buy low and sell high. Without a powerful background to help them, they simply cannot integrate into the local circle.

Shi Huolong understood Chen Futu's intention and deliberately asked Shen Lu, "My family has inherited a lot of business from the Buddhist temple. I wonder if Miss Shen would be interested?"

"No thanks. The war is still raging in the Central Plains. How can I hide in the Western Regions? Besides, my family can't do without me."

Shen Lu refused decisively, which made Chen Futu look at her with newfound respect. She wouldn't even take a free business deal, preferring to return to the war-torn south of the Milky Way rather than stay and enjoy wealth and luxury.

In this way, she can be safely entrusted to Yan Qing.

According to the original plan, the Shen family intended to return to the Central Plains in the next two days, but Chen Futu asked Shen Lu to wait a few more days so that they could all travel together.

Shen Lu did not refuse. With Chen Futu and his group around, their journey back would be safer.

Chen Futu obtained from Shi Huolong the most precious, unnamed little wild beast in the Shi family. It was about the size of a cat, looked like a strange creature, had a dragon-like snout and a bald body, and emitted a bluish-white glow.

The more Chen Futu looked at this thing, the more it resembled a Qilin cub. Unfortunately, the system was still upgrading, and he didn't know what it was for the time being. So he simply kept it by his side, even holding it in his arms while eating, and named it Xiao Qing.

Time passed quickly, and half a month later, news of victory arrived: the allied forces had reached the capital of the small country. Consort Ge personally beheaded the king and the crown prince, and used their heads to offer sacrifices to her parents and brothers. She then changed the country's name to Chen, meaning the country of the Central Plains, and, following the orders of the ancient Peacock Kingdom, made Great Xia the suzerain state. She established a golden statue of the Great Sage Emperor for worship, sharing the nation's destiny, and honored him as the Heavenly Khan.

"My personal bodyguard has also become an empress, how surreal."

Chen Futu looked at the battle report and felt quite emotional.

Despite the感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), Xiaobai and Wang Zhaojun have returned; it's time to set off back to the Central Plains.

On the day of their departure, the Shi family brought a lot of local specialties, including gifts that Chen Futu had chosen for Qin Liangyu and the others.

"Little White, are you leaving?"

"It's okay if I'm not by your side anymore. You should be happy and have a good life!"

"noob!"

"How will I live without you? Little White, please don't go! Ah! Little White—"

Shi Zhenxiang watched the caravan drive away and burst into tears. If it weren't for the captain of the guards, Alan, holding him back, he would have gone back to the Central Plains with the caravan.

Seeing this scene, Chen Futu suddenly recalled that famous scene and suddenly felt a little sorry for this idiot.

Unfortunately, Xiaobai was heartless and even made a face at Shi Zhenxiang while holding Xiaoqing.

Xuanyuan Rong traveled with him on this trip, but did not bring Bai Chen. Instead, he replaced Bai Chen with another guard, who was also a Martial Venerable. This guard was none other than Chongming, the Left Deputy Commander. Bai Chen, of course, went to Chen Kingdom to protect Consort Ge.

Chongming was taciturn and had dark skin, looking like a piece of cured meat that had been exposed to the sun for months.

According to Xuan Yuanrong, Sha Hai learned that Da Xia had agreed to bind its national destiny, and the clan planned to send two old men out to kill the bald monk of Fanyin Temple as a token of their loyalty. They also invited Chen Futu to meet them in Dantu.

Three days later, the caravan ventured deep into the desert, and an accident occurred at dusk.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, black sand filled the sky, and Xiao Qing in my arms made uneasy whimpering sounds. Then, the sounds of ghosts howling and wolves howling came from the black sand, which were terrifying.
