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

The sudden visit of the Dragon Barbarian delegation caught everyone off guard.

As for the marriage alliance, Chen Futu not only didn't consider it, but he never even thought about it.

How could just any Tom, Dick, or Harry dare to covet the sister of the Prince of Zhenbei!

Chen Futu summoned Guan Yu to explain the situation.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and said coldly, "How can a tiger's daughter marry a dog's son!"

As expected of Lord Guan, every word he utters is a timeless classic. Back when Jerry from Jiangdong wanted him to marry Guan Yinping, he was also scolded by him in the same way. When it comes to dealing with messengers, Lord Guan is a professional.

"Your Highness, please put your mind at ease. I will be right back."

After saying this, Guan Yu walked out.

Chen Futu quickly stopped him, saying, "Although I do not wish for a marriage alliance, our current enemy is the Great Qian, not the Longman. Yun Chang, please speak kindly to us."

"I understand."

After Guan Yu left, Dian Wei scratched his head and asked, "Why did they have to send that red-faced thief? Couldn't I have gone instead?"

Chen Futu smiled and quietly followed Guan Yu with Dian Wei, wanting to see what Guan Yu would say.

The guesthouse where the mission was received was filled with several large carts of boxes.

Some of the boxes were open, filled with various gold and silver jewelry, antiques, and calligraphy and paintings.

The envoy from Longman was Right Chancellor Han Bing, accompanied by several martial artists, all of whom appeared to be quite powerful.

One of them was a burly man, wearing an animal skin on his upper body and copper rings in his ears. He looked very imposing and powerful.

Li Huaifeng was in charge of receiving the delegation. He was quite polite to Han Bing, but he had spent a considerable amount of time with Chen Futu and knew his personality well, especially how much he doted on his younger sister, Chen Yuling. Long Man's sudden marriage proposal was undoubtedly courting disaster.

"Please wait a moment, Lord Han. I expect the Crown Prince will send someone to see you once he hears the news."

"Although the Longman are located in the Western Regions, they are militarily strong and well-equipped. Their alliance with the Northern Frontier would be a powerful alliance, and I'm sure the Crown Prince is aware of the implications."

As they were talking, Guan Yu arrived.

Accompanying them were Zhou Cang, carrying the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, and ten menacing swordsmen.

A group of people entered the courtyard, causing the expressions of Long Man's group of powerful figures to change drastically. In particular, the burly man stared intently at Guan Yu, eager to make a move.

Guan Yu ignored him, put one hand behind his back, stroked his beard, and strode into the hall with his head held high.

Li Huaifeng, who was drinking tea, spat out his tea when he saw him arrive. He then ran over and muttered to himself, "Why would the young master let General Guan come?"

Guan Yu said unhappily, "What, can't I, Guan Yu, come?"

"no……"

Li Huaifeng was numb.

Everyone knows that this red-faced giant is a ruthless killer. He had personally witnessed Guan Yu chasing after Jia Pingchuan with a large sword at Shanhai Post Station, causing Jia Pingchuan to flee in terror.

Why did the Crown Prince send such a killing machine here?

Han Bing didn't recognize Guan Yu. Seeing him carrying a sword and accompanied by a group of menacing servants, he was immediately displeased. "General, could this be an envoy sent by the Crown Prince?"

"That's right, your crown prince has boasted that he wants my Northern Frontier Pearl?"

"My Longman Kingdom is rich and powerful, with strong soldiers and horses. The last battle in the west was instigated by the Great Qian, which forced my lord to send troops to Jiuyuan. The troops were originally just stationed on the border as a show of force, but the Crown Prince's long-distance raid damaged the friendship between the two countries. My lord wanted to restore the alliance between the two countries and join forces with the strength of both sides, so he sent me with sincerity. But the general came to see me with a sword. What is the reason for this?"

Han Bing, as expected of a civil official, was very eloquent.

Guan Yu said proudly, "You say that the Longman army is strong and powerful, and wants to form a powerful alliance with the Northern Frontier? If that's the case, I, Guan Yu, would like to learn from them. If the Longman army is truly as you say, the young master will naturally agree."

Upon hearing this, all the warriors accompanying Long Man stepped forward.

Chen Futu squatted on the roof, looking at everything in the hall, and muttered, "That Guan Lao Er, when did I say I agreed?"

Dian Wei whispered, "My lord, I think the red-faced thief wants to kill someone to establish his authority."

"Dian Hanhan, you found out again?"

"Hehe, the red-faced thief is just like me, all he knows is fighting. If it were me, I would beat them into submission too."

As they were speaking, a warrior from Longman stepped forward; his strength was at the seventh rank.

Zhou Cang immediately retorted, "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? I, Zhou Cang, am more than capable of dealing with you!"

Han Bing did not stop him, though he also had a probing intention.

When Zhou Cang was young, he and the martial artist set up their stances in the courtyard, and the result was in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Cang punched the man in the throat, and the man lay on the ground clutching his neck and struggling in pain, which enraged the Dragon Barbarians.

In this situation, Chen Futu felt extremely happy.

What kind of class does Longman have that he dares to ask for A-Ling!

Pooh!

"General Guan, weren't your men a bit too ruthless?"

Han Bing's expression was unfriendly.

Guan Yu said indifferently, "In a contest, some injuries are inevitable. Besides, is this what the Dragon Barbarians call a strong and well-equipped army?"

Han Bing became mute.

"I come!"

More warriors from Longman stepped forward.

Zhou Cang stepped forward again, defeating him with a single punch once more. He clenched his fist and snorted, "Too weak! All of you come at me at once!"

With a whoosh, six or seven people from the opposite side came down and attacked.

The two fought hand-to-hand for a while, and Zhou Cang was the last one standing.

Han Bing finally lost face and angrily said to Li Huaifeng, "Is this how guests are treated in the Northern Frontier?"

Li Huaifeng was helpless. Guan Yu was sent by the heir apparent. If the heir apparent wanted to arrange a marriage, he would definitely send a special official over. So Li Huaifeng simply picked his ears and pretended not to hear.

Seeing this, Han Bing looked at the burly man, who grinned and turned his head with his hand, making a crackling sound as if popping beans.

Guan Yu's eyes sharpened; this person possessed the cultivation of a mid-ninth-rank cultivator, and Zhou Cang was no match for him.

Seeing that he was about to leave the arena, Han Bing immediately spoke up: "General Guan, it's just a friendly spar between your men, let's not get involved."

In the arena, Zhou Cang stood next to the burly man, looking like a miniature doll, a head shorter and with vastly different physiques.

Zhou Cang knew he was no match for them and was trying to find a way to negotiate.

Chen Futu, who was on the roof, patted Dian Wei on the shoulder and said, "Yun Chang is a little unwell, you go."

Dian Wei was overjoyed and jumped off the roof, grabbing his double halberds.

His sudden appearance startled Zhou Cang.

These days, Dian Wei has been challenging Guan Yu to fight quite a few times. The two are evenly matched, but when Dian Wei leaves, he always takes the opportunity to beat up Zhou Cang, leaving Zhou Cang with psychological trauma.

"Who is this?"

Han Bing looked at Dian Wei blankly.

Guan Yu and Li Huaifeng looked at each other and laughed heartily, without saying a word.

Dian Wei said to the burly man, "Come, come, let me be your opponent."

The burly man curled his lip and leaped forward. Dian Wei, seeing that he didn't use any weapons, simply dropped his double halberds and kicked the man away.

"How can it be!"

Han Bing was so surprised that she stood up.

Could just anyone jump out and kick a mid-stage ninth rank soldier away?

In the ensuing battle, the burly man was completely overwhelmed by Dian Wei. Dian Wei was invincible in foot combat, and with just a few punches, he left his opponent utterly bewildered.

Dian Wei chuckled wickedly, "All bark and no bite; you're just a spineless coward."

"court death!"

Enraged, the burly man grabbed his golden-ringed dagger and swung it down at Dian Wei's head.

Dian Wei's smile vanished abruptly. He picked up his twin halberds, his bloodlust almost materializing. "Let's see who's courting death!"
