Chapter 120: Return safely
An Jingsi stared intently at Zhu Wugu, a look that terrified Zhu Wugu so much that he instinctively spurred his horse to flee, only to be met with a sharp slap from An Jingsi.
Click!
An Jingsi's head was smashed like a rotten watermelon. His horse galloped away, and the headless corpse crashed to the ground.
"The general has been killed!"
"Get out of here!"
"A demon! That's a demon!"
The scene of An Jingsi's head being smashed by Yi Shuo was too shocking and exciting.
That's innate!
In their eyes, An Jingsi was an absolute monster, someone who could be instantly killed by a single innate talent.
The army collapsed like a house of cards. The army that had just besieged Chen Futu scattered in the blink of an eye. In particular, the deputy generals, fearing that An Jingsi would target them, lay on their horses and looked in terror at the blood-red black armor, wishing they had been given two more legs.
Ma Chao, panting heavily, said to An Jingsi, "I have to admit, you're very strong."
"You're not weak either."
An Jingsi changed his tune regarding Ma Chao.
Ma Chao, who was as one with his horse, was indeed exceptionally fierce. It would be difficult for anyone else to chase after the enemy general and kill him amidst a vast army.
Chen Futu wasted no more time, immediately gathered his troops and warhorses, and began to break out southwards with the corpses.
An Jingsi assigned three thousand Jingyue soldiers to Ma Chao to follow behind, while he himself led the remaining Jingyue soldiers to clear the way.
With him leading the way, the journey was fraught with danger but ultimately safe.
No matter who he encounters or what kind of general he is, he can crush them all with the most savage power and sweep away all demons and monsters.
Qin Liangyu whispered, "Your Highness, is this the legendary Li Cunxiao?"
"What do you think about the possibility of defeating Li?"
"Very strong, extremely strong, unimaginable martial prowess."
Qin Liangyu rarely evaluated a person in this way. Even when facing Guan Yu and Dian Wei, she would at most praise the general as mighty. But An Jingsi was powerful on another level. Perhaps his ability to command troops was not as good as Guan Yu and others, but in terms of personal strength, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was invincible.
"What a magnificent scene it would be if we could one day obtain Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King?"
Chen Futu couldn't help but be distracted.
The return journey was relatively smooth until three days later when the group was surrounded by a large army.
An Jingsi charged ahead, and the encirclement was as fragile as paper. If Shan Muer hadn't run fast, An Jingsi could have easily killed him.
A few days later, Huo Qubing and Cao Zhen arrived, and the two sides joined forces.
Chen Futu found a place to set up camp.
An Jingsi, carrying Yu Wangshuo, stood guard outside Chen Futu's tent like an iron tower. In the distance, Danmuer's army had regrouped, but they did not advance. It seemed that they knew they could not hold Chen Futu back, and they just watched from afar without launching an attack.
The nights on the grassland are cold.
Everyone was covered in blood, so they ate something and rested early.
Qin Liangyu suddenly arrived in front of Chen Futu's tent. An Jingsi glanced at her, called out "Sister-in-law," and then stepped aside.
Qin Liangyu was embarrassed by his abrupt and nonsensical address, but she couldn't explain anything to this blockhead, so she could only respond with a smile.
Chen Futu had just lain down when he saw Qin Liangyu enter and quickly went over to her, asking gently, "How are your injuries? Have you applied any medicine?"
Qin Liangyu tilted her head back and muttered, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry about me so much. I'm not a pampered young lady."
"You must treat your injury properly and make sure to use the white medicine I gave you, otherwise the scar will look bad."
"This humble general is a rough man; how could he possibly be handsome?"
"Nonsense, you're the most beautiful in my eyes."
Chen Futu had a sweet tongue; he pulled Qin Liangyu to sit down and then poured her tea.
Qin Liangyu bit her lip and carefully reached her hand into her robe. Chen Futu quickly turned his face away and pretended to be serious, saying, "Hey, what are you doing? Let's go back to the city and talk about it, okay? At least take a bath first, right?"
"What nonsense is the young master talking about?"
Qin Liangyu's face darkened, and she took something out.
Chen Futu was immediately dumbfounded, only to see her handing over the Imperial Seal of the State.
"This……"
“When I passed through Baler, I snatched it from a fierce general on the grassland. It is said that the Imperial Seal of the State was lost to the grassland in its early years. Recently, news came that the Khan sent people to retrieve it, and I happened to run into them and took it back.”
As she spoke, Qin Liangyu placed the Imperial Seal of the State into Chen Futu's arms.
Chen Futu excitedly examined the jade seal, but to his surprise, it was also missing a corner!
Could there be a First Emperor in this world?
It seems that this world and the original world have some similarities in some aspects. So, if the Great Qian royal family does not have the imperial seal, they can go back and look at history to see when the imperial seal was lost.
Qin Liangyu said softly, "Your Highness defeated Zhang Shouren and stopped the Hu people from entering the Central Plains. Your reputation must have spread throughout the world. You are not far from that step. Now that you have obtained the Imperial Seal, you can be said to have the mandate of heaven on your side."
"Thank you!"
Chen Futu put down the Imperial Seal and embraced the frail body in his arms.
Qin Liangyu was stunned and murmured, "Does the young master want to taste my fist again?"
"All I want to say is that fate is not important. What is important is that you found the Imperial Seal of the State, which means that you are destined to be the Crown Prince's consort."
Chen Futu shamelessly hugged the person tighter and tighter, and spoke in a very greasy manner.
Qin Liangyu muttered to herself, "Your Highness, I can't breathe."
"Hehe, sorry."
Chen Futu finally released the person with reluctance.
Qin Liangyu immediately got up to take her leave, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"How about you keep me company tonight?"
Chen Futu deliberately asked another question, and Qin Liangyu raised her eyebrows and shook her fist, "What did the young master say? This humble general did not hear."
"Hey, you should get some rest early, and be careful not to catch a cold tonight."
Chen Futu dared not tease her anymore, lest she pin him to the ground and beat him up again.
With a faint smile, Qin Liangyu raised her cheek and turned away.
She seems to be getting more and more lively; it seems the glimmer of hope the system mentioned is right there on the grassland.
Once the grasslands are thoroughly cleared and the land is ravaged, marrying her is not impossible.
Of course, the title of Crown Princess can be put aside for now; having a child cannot be delayed.
The army set off the following morning.
Chen Futu did not reveal that he possessed the Imperial Seal of the State.
This is a hot potato. If the Great Qian Dynasty finds out, the old emperor will send people to snatch it away like a vicious dog, and then there will be no peace in the northern border.
At least we need to wait until the overall strength of the northern border region improves, and that it fully develops, replenishes the national treasury and resources, and gains the complete support of the people before we can consider taking that position.
Two days later, the army arrived in Longcheng.
Danmuer, who had been following behind, finally retreated into the grassland. He was probably worried that Chen Futu would send people to plunder the tribes again.
The losses inflicted on Qin Liangyu and Huo Qubing were too great. Not to mention the lost warhorses, dozens of tribes were slaughtered.
Outside Longguan Pass, Zhang Liang, along with Guan Yu, Dian Wei, and others, came to greet them.
Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, Zhang Liang finally felt relieved.
As for generals like Guan Yu and Dian Wei, their eyes immediately turned to An Jingsi.
They could smell the violent atmosphere in the air.
Chen Futu helped with the introductions.
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said, "General An, how about we have a friendly spar sometime?"
An Jingsi looked at Guan Yu in surprise, "You are Guan Yu, just as legendary as the legends say."
Guan Yu burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Ma Chao was very unhappy to see this. Why was An Jingsi so nice to Guan Yu, but treated him like dirt?
With the army temporarily stationed at Longguan, Chen Futu was finally able to take a bath.
After the great battle, Chen Futu was finally able to relax. He didn't bother his soldiers to fetch water for his room; instead, he carried a bucket himself, humming a little tune, and headed to the bathhouse.
Since it was his first time in such a place, Chen Futu couldn't figure out the way and carried his shovel up to the second floor.
The second floor was deserted and quiet.
He flung open the red curtain in front of him and saw a naked woman with her back to the door, pouring water over herself with a ladle in the steaming pool.
Chen Futu stared wide-eyed, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
