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

When Dian Wei, Ma Chao, and Cao Zhen saw that Qin Liangyu wanted to stay, they immediately had an expression of sudden realization.

"It's perfectly appropriate for General Qin to take care of our lord; we won't join in the fun."

Ma Chao dragged Cao Zhen and Dian Wei out of the camp.

The atmosphere inside the tent was slightly awkward.

Qin Liangyu didn't say much, but stepped forward and personally unbuttoned Chen Futu's shirt, and didn't find any wounds.

She tried to take off more clothes, but Chen Futu quickly stopped her hand and said with a wry smile, "No, just stay here and watch over her."

Qin Liangyu thought for a moment and then stopped.

She stayed by Chen Futu's bedside that night, but Chen Futu was doubly punished by the system and couldn't get up the next day.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Xier muttered to herself, "Could he really be injured?"

The commander whispered, "He deserved it; this is retribution."

"Prepare some medicinal herbs, I'll go take a look."

Zhao Xier was still worried, so she brought the commander to Chen Futu's tent. When they entered, they saw that Chen Futu was still lying dead, while Qin Liangyu was sitting by the bed and personally feeding Chen Futu.

Qin Liangyu was extremely gentle. After Chen Futu took a sip of soup, she would wipe his mouth for him, just like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Chen Futu even stared at Qin Liangyu and grinned foolishly.

This scene inexplicably made Zhao Xier feel a pang of sadness, leaving her unsure whether to stay or leave.

Qin Liangyu noticed the commotion and, upon seeing Zhao Xier, said, "Is the Dragon Barbarian army here? Don't worry, they won't dare to attack."

"Hehe, I just came to see if the Crown Prince is dead."

As the ruler of a country, Zhao Xier was usually very dignified and would never say such a thing. However, she both loved and hated Chen Futu, and she couldn't control her emotions, which is why she said such a thing. She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

As expected, upon hearing her words, Qin Liangyu's face turned icy cold. "King of Zhao, do you believe I will kill you?"

"You are brave!"

The commander was furious and drew his sword.

Qin Liangyu frowned, put down the bowl, and was about to fetch the pair of mandarin duck swords.

Chen Futu quickly grabbed her wrist, signaling her not to be impulsive. Zhao Xier was just straightforward and didn't mean any harm.

Qin Liangyu only then noticed the medicine bag the commander was carrying, and finally stopped talking, saying, "You guys chat, I'll go check on the wounded."

Before leaving, she brushed past Zhao Xier and warned in a low voice, "This is the last time. If I hear you insulting my Lord again, I will make you pay the price."

Qin Liangyu left, but the warning and killing intent from the innate expert sent chills down Zhao Xier's spine.

She felt wronged; she was the one who was being bullied!

The commander, sensing the situation, withdrew from the tent to prepare the medicine.

Zhao Xier took a deep breath and walked to the bedside with feigned ease. "Isn't the young master very imposing? Why are you still lying down?"

"Your Majesty may laugh all you want. Once I recover, I'll tie your undergarment to the horse's rump."

"you dare!"

Zhao Xier's eyebrows furrowed and her face turned red. Seeing that no one was around, she sneakily leaned close to Chen Futu's ear and said, "Now you have no strength to resist. Let's see how I teach you a lesson."

The most poisonous woman's heart.

Chen Futu never expected her to seek revenge, but since he couldn't easily call for help, he glared at her and threatened, "You dare!"

"Let's see if I dare!"

What followed was Zhao Xier's revenge, which opened Chen Futu's eyes. She deliberately whispered in his ear and groped him with her small hands, which was incredibly bold. As a result, Chen Futu felt as if he was burning with fire but could not move, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

The more this happened, the more smug Zhao Xier became; this was her revenge.

Is there anything more painful than letting a man only look but not have?

Half an hour later, the Dragon Barbarian army arrived.

Leading the group was none other than Long Jie, the ruler of the Longman Kingdom.

He arrived with thunderous fury. The capture of the Crown Prince was a matter of utmost importance, and the Longman Dynasty was in complete chaos. Therefore, he personally led an army of 50,000 to bring the Crown Prince back.

Dian Wei, Ma Chao, Qin Liangyu, and Cao Zhen, each leading their troops, blocked the army's path.

Ma Chao shouted, "Halt! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless in taking what I want!"

"Bring Chen Futu and Zhao Xier out! I want to see them!"

Long Jie was clad in golden armor, his aged face contorted with rage.

Ma Chao chuckled three times, pointed his spear at his opponent, and said contemptuously, "You scoundrel, do you intend to go to the underworld with your good-for-nothing son?"

"You traitorous general! How dare you insult me!"

"The mere Longman are not worth mentioning. If you want to fight, then fight! With me, Ma Mengqi, here, whoever comes will die!"

Ma Chao didn't take the opponent seriously at all. If Chen Futu hadn't said before that the opponent wasn't there for a major battle, he would have charged forward long ago.

The two sides are deadlocked.

Long Jie was worried about the Crown Prince's safety, and facing the four fierce generals under Chen Futu, he dared not make a move.

Meanwhile, the three armies in the northern frontier were all watching with predatory eyes and would never let them pass.

"My lord, it's terrible! The Dragon Barbarian army is attacking!"

Consort Ge was sent by Dian Wei to deliver a message, but she was immediately stunned as soon as she opened the tent door.

Chen Futu was seen embracing the naked Zhao Xier and doing *that* to her.

Consort Ge hurriedly left the tent and cried out, "My lord, Long Jie has personally led a large army here, wanting to welcome back Crown Prince Long Nie. What should we do?"

"Let Ma Chao and the others hold them off, and see how patient the old dog becomes."

"Here!"

Consort Ge dared not delay and left in a hurry.

As for Chen Futu, he had not yet recovered. He had been "punished" too much by Zhao Xier and was struggling to get up on his own instincts.

Zhao Xi'er spat and cursed, "How can matters of state be treated like child's play? Release me now!"

"Now you know to beg for mercy? No rush, that old dog won't dare to hit you anyway, let's leave him alone for a while."

The facts were exactly as Chen Futu had predicted.

Long Jie didn't dare to fight, so he just waited it out with Ma Chao and the others.

Bored, Ma Chao stepped forward and challenged, "I've heard that the Dragon Barbarians have many brave warriors. Do you dare to duel with me?"

"Don't be so arrogant, horse! I, Zhamu, will take you on!"

The Dragon Barbarians have many strongmen. The warriors who go into battle are dressed in animal skin armor, with thick beards and big, burly figures. They wield a large, ornate axe and look very imposing.

Ma Chao leisurely rode up to meet them, intending only to tease his opponent for amusement and not in a hurry to resolve the situation.

While the battle raged fiercely on the battlefield, Chen Futu and Zhao Xier were also locked in a fierce struggle inside the camp.

After the three drumbeats ended, Ma Chao stabbed Zhamu to death with his spear. He trampled the corpse with his horse's hoof and said mockingly, "With this little strength, you might as well go home and suckle. What else can you Dragon Barbarians do besides use despicable methods?"

Little did he know, Long Jie was no longer in a hurry. A playful smile appeared on his lips. "Horse, I hope you can still smile later."

Seeing Long Jie's expression, Qin Liangyu was immediately alarmed. "Oh no! My lord is in danger!"

In the camp stationed at Tongguan in the northern frontier, apart from the wounded, there are still more than a thousand of Zhao Xier's personal guards left. The rest have long been escorted back to Pingcheng as prisoners of war, and most of the remaining thousand personal guards are scattered throughout the camp.

Even the commander of the personal guards was still brewing medicine for Chen Futu, completely unaware that a crisis was quietly approaching.
