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

"Halt immediately, you who are coming!"

Seeing the aggressive approach of the other party, Qin Liangyu became somewhat wary and quickly stepped forward to block the young general's path.

The other person's expression darkened, and seeing that she was a woman, he completely ignored her and continued to rush towards them, showing absolutely no restraint.

Qin Liangyu was furious. "You are far too arrogant. How could I allow you to trespass!"

After saying that, Qin Liangyu made her move, and the two immediately engaged in battle.

This battle was truly spectacular.

Both men were experts with guns; their silver spears flashed and gleamed, and even from a distance, one could sense the intense killing intent emanating from them.

Chen Futu took a closer look and recognized the young general as Ma Chao. Fearing that something might happen to Qin Liangyu, he quickly urged his horse forward.

At this moment, Qin Liangyu was suppressed; Ma Chao's martial arts skills and strength were superior to hers.

She could only rely on her nimbleness to cope, so as not to lose, but also not to win.

Both wielded spears, and after exchanging twenty or thirty blows, Qin Liangyu's defenses were exposed. Ma Chao's expression hardened, and he deflected Qin Liangyu's spear tip. Then, his warhorse reared up on its hind legs, and he seemed glued to the horse, raising his spear high above Qin Liangyu.

This was the legendary man and horse as one, and the onlookers gasped in astonishment.

What a brilliant Ma Chao!

Ding dong!

Qin Liangyu's spear was pierced by the shaft, and she was thrown back more than ten steps from her warhorse by the immense force before regaining her footing. Then she planted the spear in the ground, quickly drew her carved bow from her waist, and aimed it at Ma Chao's head.

"Don't stop yet!"

Chen Futu unleashed his Martial God Body, letting out a roar that sounded like rolling thunder.

The two generals, who were about to fight to the death, were taken aback and then gave up.

Ma Chao sheathed his spear, walked past Qin Liangyu to Chen Futu, clasped his hands and said, "This humble general greets his lord."

"Mengqi, that is General Qin Liangyu."

Chen Futu immediately gave an introduction.

Ma Chao turned to look at Qin Liangyu, a look of surprise on his face. "No wonder she's so powerful. She's a fierce general under our lord."

Qin Liangyu rode back and also sized up Ma Chao. "As expected of the legendary Divine General, the only one in the entire Northern Frontier who can fight him is probably General Guan."

"Hey, General Qin, are you looking down on me, Dian Wei?"

After saying this, Dian Wei drew his twin halberds, his tiger-like eyes glaring fiercely at Ma Chao: "Ma'er, do you dare to duel with me!"

Ma Chao sneered, "You think you can take me?"

"I am Dian Wei, the personal guard general of our lord!"

Dian Wei charged straight in.

Chen Futu hurriedly said, "Sparring is fine, but please don't hurt each other!"

"Rest assured, my lord, Ma Chao will spare his life."

"You little horse, take this!"

Their battle was completely different from the scene of Ma Chao fighting Qin Liangyu earlier. The two fought with their strength, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Dian Wei was stronger than Ma Chao, but Ma Chao's horsemanship was superb. He was like one with his horse, able to easily dissipate Dian Wei's strength. Then, relying on his divine steed Jade Lion, he fought Dian Wei for over a hundred rounds without a clear winner.

"Alright, stop!"

The two men's martial arts skills represent the highest level among the generals of the Northern Frontier. Both of them are at the peak of the Innate Realm. If they continue fighting, one of them will likely be injured.

Looking at the two peerless generals, Qin Liangyu subconsciously gripped her spear tighter.

She felt frustrated; she wanted to break free from her constraints and enter the realm of the innate.

Ma Chao's troops were stationed in Jiuyuan.

There is no war now, so he needs to stay put for a while and wait for the army to return with their warhorses before he can make his move.

With his strength and the Xiliang cavalry, he can definitely give Shenqiu and Longman a hard time.

“Mengqi, remember, the purpose of this battle is to retrieve the warhorses, not to fight.”

"You will finally understand."

Next, Fu Tu and his men temporarily separated from Ma Chao, and the army passed through Jiuyuan Road and officially entered the Western Regions.

As Zhao Xi'er listened to the maid's vivid narration while inside the carriage, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"You mean, the Crown Prince arranged for an unparalleled warrior to serve in the Nine Plains Path?"

"Yes, it seems to be a backup plan left by the Prince of Zhenbei for his heir. Otherwise, the two sides would not have fought because they did not know each other. Speaking of which, Jin Ma Chao is really powerful. Even Qin Liangyu is no match for him. Moreover, Dian Wei is also terrifyingly strong!"

The maid was still shaken. Who could have imagined that the General Dian Wei they had met in Dragon City was so formidable? Although he was nominally the captain of the personal guard, his combat prowess was unparalleled.

Zhao Xier smiled bitterly: "How could someone who can be appointed as the captain of the personal guard by the prince be weak? Now that the prince has arranged for so many fierce generals to go to Xizhao, if possible, I would like to take this opportunity to eliminate the threat that the Longman pose to Xizhao."

"You want to take advantage of this?"

The maid's eyes widened.

Zhao Xier didn't speak. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked at Chen Futu's back, a sense of anticipation rising in her heart.

Among the three kingdoms of the Western Regions, the military strength of the Western Zhao is relatively weak, but it is not so easy for the other two kingdoms to swallow up the Western Zhao. Otherwise, the Longman would have made a move long ago. Now that Chen Futu has personally gone to the Western Zhao, it is her opportunity. She can take this opportunity to eliminate some of the Longman's forces and her life will be better.

Yongcheng, the capital of the Longman Kingdom.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, a servant stumbled and ran in.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The troops from the Northern Frontier have left Jiuyuan Road and are heading towards Western Zhao."

Who will lead the army?

"Chen Futu, the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, accompanied by Generals Qin Liangyu and Cao Zhen."

"That damned Prince Zhenbei's heir! He has insulted me beyond measure!"

Enraged, Long Nie smashed the glass cup.

His anger stemmed from the fact that the men he had sent to pursue Zhao Xier had been completely wiped out, and Chen Futu had even sent him a letter mocking him, calling him a coward and telling him to clean up the Crown Princess and send her to Longcheng to serve him. Otherwise, if he were to one day break through Yongcheng, he would send his entire family of women to the army camp and castrate him, the foreign prince, and hang him on a tree for the people of the northern frontier to admire.

Thinking of this, Long Nie immediately went to see his father, the Barbarian Emperor Long Jie.

“Father, Chen Futu has come here specifically to retrieve the warhorses of Western Zhao. We cannot ignore this.”

"You take a look first."

The Barbarian Emperor handed a letter to Long Nie, saying, "This is a secret letter from Shen Qiu, the Pacification Commissioner of the Great Qian Dynasty. He invites the Long Barbarians to send troops to encircle and annihilate the Prince of Zhenbei. I want you to go."

"Your son is willing to go!"

Long Nie was overjoyed. Although his position was secure, he was still lacking in experience.

If he can capture Chen Futu in this battle, he will have no more worries.

However, he still needed to plan ahead. For example, if something went wrong with those 50,000 horses, would Chen Futu break ties with the Western Zhao?

Upon returning to the Crown Prince's residence, Long Nie immediately wrote a letter and handed it to one of his swordsmen. "Deliver this letter to the Red People's Pavilion in Xi Zhao, and then you stay here to help. This time, I'm going to add fuel to the fire for that damned Prince Zhenbei's heir. He dares to swagger into my territory. Does he really think I, the Crown Prince, am dead?"
