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

After receiving Chen Yuling's message at her residence, Qin Liangyu immediately rode her horse to Pingkang Ward.

As the valiant female general arrived, the previously noisy banquet fell silent. Everyone stared intently at her heroic face. Some noblemen were even trembling with excitement, and some wealthy young ladies blushed with excitement.

Qin Liangyu's existence opened a door in the hearts of young ladies from noble families; they too wanted to become a majestic female general!

Covered in blood, Deng Han kept his head down, not daring to look around. "Yes, I pay my respects to General Qin."

Qin Liangyu asked with a complicated expression, "Was this caused by that burly man?"

"I am ashamed to say that the warrior did not make a move, but injured me with his internal energy alone."

Deng Han was extremely embarrassed, but she still told the truth.

Qin Liangyu was both amused and exasperated. She then bowed before Chen Futu and said, "Your subordinate greets Your Highness."

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire garden fell silent, and then everyone stood up, filled with trepidation.

Who would have thought that the dashing young man was actually the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, the new ruler of the Northern Frontier!

Some girls looked at Chen Futu with eyes full of admiration, their hearts racing, their faces flushed, and they couldn't wait to run to Chen Futu's side and confess their feelings.

"Wait, so that burly man is General Dian Wei!"

hiss--

Everyone gasped.

At this moment, not only were the others stunned, but Deng Han was also dumbfounded.

He actually fought with the Crown Prince's personal guard captain and survived.

Chen Futu met Qin Liangyu's beautiful eyes and smiled gently, "It's kind of you to make this trip. This kid has a good character and is a tough guy. Even when he was in dire straits, he didn't give up. I think it would be good for him to be your apprentice."

Qin Liangyu nodded. "Du Hongxue and Luo Wushuang are both studying with me, so one more won't make a difference."

Dian Wei sneered at Deng Han, who was still in a daze, "Boy, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and pay your respects to your master!"

Deng Han suddenly realized what was happening and immediately ran over, knelt at Qin Liangyu's feet, and kowtowed three times, saying, "Disciple Deng Han greets his master."

Qin Liangyu said, "Following me, you will not only have to learn martial arts and military strategy, but also go to the battlefield, where you may lose your life at any time."

"Your disciple is not afraid of death!"

"Okay, come with me in a bit."

Qin Liangyu has taken on a disciple.

Deng Han transformed into a disciple of the Northern Frontier Goddess of War, making the group of young noblemen present so envious they almost cried.

They also wanted to latch onto the coattails of the Goddess of War!

"Thank you, dear teacher! Thank you, dear teacher!"

Deng Han thanked Qin Liangyu profusely, then knelt before Chen Futu, expressing his immense gratitude, "Your Highness, I will certainly serve the Northern Frontier and will not fail your trust."

"No need for formalities. He is a talented person, and I, the young master, will not ignore him. You should thank General Dian. If he hadn't shown mercy, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to have such a good master."

Deng Han's expression turned solemn, and he immediately bowed to Dian Wei.

Dian Wei laughed heartily, "You've got a lot to be proud of, kid, for surviving my hand."

This is no exaggeration. Let alone Deng Han, a mere newbie, even a ninth-rank expert like Dian Wei could be torn apart alive.

"Brother! I also want to become General Qin's disciple!"

Chen Yuling ran over, lifting her skirt and creating a fragrant breeze. Dong Xian'er quickly followed.

Chen Futu looked at his arrogant younger sister and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"Brother, if you don't agree, I'll just keep hanging around with you!"

Chen Yuling's skills at being a troublemaker have improved; she crossed her arms and gave him a look that said, "If you don't agree, I'll annoy you to death."

Chen Futu pretended to be troubled and looked at Qin Liangyu, "How about we consider opening a military academy and you be the dean?"

Chen Futu had actually planned this all along; his visit to Miaoyin Garden today to recruit talent was merely a pretext.

With frequent battles in northern Xinjiang, the military academy was already under construction in the development zone and was given top priority.

In addition to the military academy, there was also the Northern Frontier Academy, which specialized in teaching other subjects such as mathematics, medicine, politics, agriculture, and physics.

In medicine, there was the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" to cover everything; in other areas, Chen Futu was compiling manuscripts and publishing books.

Once the college is settled, I'll have almost finished organizing the teaching materials, though it's been quite tiring.

The news of opening the academy, announced in front of a group of young masters and ladies from aristocratic families, will undoubtedly have an impact. While cultivating talent, it will also continue to extract profits from these families—why not?

Those "influential people" should probably consider whether to tie themselves to the northern frontier and whether to spend more of their own money to enroll their children and grandchildren in schools for the sake of their future.

"If Your Highness speaks, I will obey."

Qin Liangyu accepted the position at the Military Academy without hesitation, but only as a deputy; she hoped Zhang Liang would serve as the dean.

Upon hearing this, the scions of prominent families present all swarmed around.

"Your Highness, may we join a military academy or academy?"

"Yes, Your Highness, we are willing to serve the Northern Frontier!"

These people aren't stupid. The northern frontier has changed its ruling flag, and the decisive battles on all sides have shaken the world. They are in need of manpower right now, and joining them now can lead to a bright future!

"Sure, just pay the money."

Chen Futu's head was throbbing from the noise, so he immediately led a few people away from Pingkangfang.

Dong Xian'er was also taken away.

Chen Futu took her away because she was suitable for the job of a secretary, and could help organize teaching materials.

"these are……"

Inside the Prince's mansion, Dong Xian'er was stunned as she looked at the various manuscripts that Chen Futu had compiled.

She was quite well-read, but she had only studied Confucian classics.

Chen Futu's manuscripts contain previously unseen poems, as well as books on mathematics, agriculture, and the study of things.

Chen Futu patiently explained the situation to Dong Xian'er, and she finally understood.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I'll take care of it for you from now on."

Dong Xian'er's cheeks flushed with excitement.

Ever since she fled from the East Sea to Pingzi, she has become increasingly hopeless about the future. Now, Chen Futu has personally appointed her as his personal maid, which can be described as a stroke of good fortune.

Knowing that there was a chance to get close to the Crown Prince, countless talented women in the Northern Frontier were eagerly watching, wishing they could wash themselves clean and crawl into the Crown Prince's bed.

"By the way, Liang Huan is still in my hands. What do you think we should do with him?"

Chen Futu's question caused Dong Xian'er's smile to freeze abruptly. She said sadly, "This humble woman has no objection, but I leave it to the young master to decide."

"I heard that after you escaped from the East Sea, some of your relatives and servants died at the hands of Liang Huan. Don't you want revenge?"

Are you really willing to give me this opportunity?

"of course."

Chen Futu immediately summoned his personal guards and ordered them to take Dong Xian'er to the dungeon to see Liang Huan, saying she could do whatever she wanted with her.

After the two left, Dian Wei said in bewilderment, "Although Liang Huan is a scoundrel, keeping him around seems to have some use."

"It really works. If we dumped Liang Huan in the capital, what do you think would happen?"

"I don't know."

"The dog emperor will definitely not let him off the hook. Even if he doesn't pursue the matter out of consideration for the Liang family, how could the officials in the court let him go? Due to the circumstances, the old emperor's severe punishment will inevitably alienate the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's families, adding to the turmoil of the country, which is to my advantage."

Dian Wei understood Chen Futu's explanation, but he didn't understand why Dong Xian'er was still allowed to see Liang Huan. What if Dong Xian'er killed Liang Huan?

Chen Futu laughed and said, "According to my investigation, Dong Xian'er's identity is not so simple. I want to take her into my service and keep her for future purposes. Moreover, I don't expect her to kill Liang Huan."

As they were talking, someone suddenly came in to report some news.

"Your Highness, the Dragon Barbarian delegation has arrived. They say their Crown Prince wishes to marry the Second Miss and form a marriage alliance with you."

"what!"

Dian Wei flew into a rage, grabbed his twin halberds, and shouted, "Young Master, watch me chop them up!"
