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

A fragrant breeze wafts through the waterside pavilion, and light gauze curtains flutter in the breeze.

Liu Longyue lay on the couch, her clear eyes filled with resentment. "What does the young master want? Let me go!"

Chen Futu said, "Weren't you very arrogant when you were dealing with me in the capital? I've long wanted to taste what it's like to be the high and mighty princess of Beiwu."

"you dare!"

Liu Longyue's beautiful eyes widened, and she raised her hand to slap him.

Chen Futu was prepared. He swatted away her small, pink hand and leaned down, their faces almost touching, their breaths almost touching.

Chen Futu listened to Liu Longyue's rapid heartbeat and looked at the panic in her eyes; it was obvious that she was afraid.

Ge Fei, standing to the side, tactfully turned her gaze elsewhere, like a puppet.

"Your Highness, you can name your conditions, and I will definitely agree."

"I demand that Beiwu submit. Can you do that?"

"Your Highness, please don't joke. I am just a princess, not the queen, and I cannot make decisions."

"Then what use are you to me?"

Chen Futu deliberately lowered his head to kiss her soft lips, but she panicked and desperately turned her face away, crying out, "Your Highness, please! I... I have money!"

"Oh? How much?"

Chen Futu asked with a mischievous look on his face.

"There are more than two million taels of silver, all earned by the merchants and spies I planted in Daqian. They haven't been shipped out yet and are stored in one place. I can take you there to get them."

Ding!

[A mix of truth and deception, reality and illusion, Liu Longyue offers money; what will the host choose?]

[1. Choosing to follow Liu Longyue to retrieve the money will reward you with a cultivation level increase to Rank 8]

[2. Choose not to believe Liu Longyue and ask her to provide the map so you can send someone to retrieve it. The reward is 6,000 Jingyue soldiers and the commander Li Cunxiao, who is a mid-stage Grandmaster.]

[3. Choose to scheme against Liu Longyue, knowing she wants to escape, and manipulate her at will. The reward system will fully replenish the troops of the general.]

hiss--

Upon hearing the options offered by the system, Chen Futu couldn't help but gasp!

It was actually Li Cunxiao!

There is an old saying that "no king surpasses Xiang Yu, and no general surpasses Li Cunxiao." This Li refers to Li Cunxiao, a real and unparalleled general in history. His strength was not much different from Xiang Yu's, and he was even more powerful than Lü Bu, reaching the mid-stage of the Grandmaster level!

Why would Liu Longyue have such an amazing option?

Is she the chosen one of this world? And the third option is also amazing, Qin Liangyu and her troops have been fully replenished!

If that's the case, then we absolutely cannot let her go; we must keep her firmly by our side to farm rewards!

After a moment's thought, Chen Futu made his choice, "I choose three."

[The reinforcements are about to arrive in Dragon City. Please arrange for someone to receive them.]

Li Cunxiao was very fierce, but his troops were almost wiped out in the battle of the Western Regions, leaving only one or two thousand Xiliang cavalry. Moreover, Liu Longyue's so-called money was probably just a pretext. He had to play a trick on her so that she would never have the thought of escaping the Northern Frontier again.

"I agreed."

Chen Futu released Liu Longyue, who, like a frightened little rabbit, darted away, clutching her chest, looking both angry and resentful.

Chen Futu was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, and immediately sent Consort Ge to the academy to deliver a message to Qin Liangyu, asking her to go and receive the troops from various units.

Qin Liangyu must be very happy now that the White-Spear Army has been replenished.

After Ge Fei left, Liu Longyue suddenly smiled, her expression slightly strange.

Chen Futu raised an eyebrow and said, "What, you think you have a chance to kidnap me just because Consort Ge isn't here?"

"Your Highness is joking. How could I dare to do such a thing? Even if I did, I'm afraid I would still be unable to leave the Northern Frontier."

"Good to know. I advise you not to waste your time. If I wanted to kill you, none of my men could stop you. Go and make preparations. I will personally accompany you to collect the money at a later time."

"In that case, I shall take my leave."

After Liu Longyue finished speaking, she left. After taking two steps, she suddenly said, "Your Highness, I would like to take my subordinates with me. What do you think?"

"Sure, go find Yu Qian, he'll release them."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Liu Longyue left satisfied.

Chen Futu couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

This woman was clearly hiding something, but no matter how much she schemed, she wouldn't be able to leave.

When Mo Lan arrived, her clothes were simpler than they had been in the Dragon Barbarian Royal Court, but her face was still graceful and beautiful.

Chen Futu asked suspiciously, "Why are you here?"

"The old lady wants to talk to you about your marriage."

"marriage……"

Chen Futu had a headache just thinking about it. He guessed that his mother had gotten the idea because she saw that her son was surrounded by stunningly beautiful women.

There was no other way but to return with Mo Lan.

Upon arriving at the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, they paid their respects to the old lady.

She glanced at the serene Mo Lan and asked Chen Futu, "My son, you're not getting any younger. When are you going to give our family some offspring?"

"Mother, there's no rush."

"You're not in a hurry, but I am!"

The old woman slammed her hand on the table in annoyance, while Chen Futu scratched his head, looking sullen.

Having a child may seem like an easy thing, but it is related to the future of the country.

In other words, it's fine to have a daughter, but if you have a son, he will inevitably become the crown prince in the future, which is no joke.

The old lady said unhappily, "I don't care what you think, you must establish a wife for the heir as soon as possible! Otherwise, you can forget about leaving Longcheng. If you are still hesitant, your mother will make the decision for you."

"Go to General Qin, and she will agree."

"How about Mom drug her? And you two make it a fait accompli?"

"what?"

Chen Futu stared in astonishment.

Who would have thought that my mother could utter such outrageous words? It's clear she's really eager to have a grandson.

“A grown man like you is so indecisive. Since you can’t make up your mind, then I’ll do it for you!”

After saying this, the old lady ordered Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen, Yu Qian, and the generals to be summoned.

Chen Futu could not stop it and could only comply.

Mo Lan stood beside him with her head down, saying nothing, her expression unreadable.

She was self-aware; as a concubine, and the Empress of Longman, Chen Futu would never make her the Crown Prince's consort. Even if he were to appoint Consort Ge to that position, it wouldn't be her turn.

Three strategists and generals arrived in his youth.

Qin Liangyu had clearly just returned from the military camp, still wearing her armor. She was talking to Li Xiuning, and looked rather silly.

"Greetings, old lady."

Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen, Yu Qian, and others stood on the left, while Guan Yu and his group of generals stood on the right.

The old lady surveyed the room and said, “You are all key ministers under the Crown Prince. I have called you here today because there are some family matters that the Crown Prince is still undecided about. So I ask you all to think of a solution and to be my witnesses.”

"Please speak, Madam. We will do our utmost."

Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen were two old foxes. They guessed the purpose of being summoned this time. After all, Mo Lan was also there, and it was a family matter. The problem was obvious.

Next, the old lady spoke of the matter of establishing the Crown Prince's wife.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, with Qin Liangyu appearing particularly nervous.
