Chapter 234: The Man in Green Returns
After being scolded, Liu Longyue froze on the spot, her eyes red and filled with intense indignation as if a painful spot had been hit.
Chen Futu picked up a memorial and said indifferently, "Speak your mind, or shut up. Once you're done, get out of here."
"Since Your Majesty knew of my scheme, why did you help me?"
“You and I are the same kind of people. I also want to see how far you can go. After all, the current strategy of the Northern Frontier is to develop people’s livelihood. We will not fight for the time being. So you have a few years. After a few years, I will lead my army to conquer the world. No matter how the political landscape of the Northern Frontier changes at that time, it will not change the final result unless you lead your people to surrender.”
Chen Futu used the simplest language to describe the future direction of the world.
Liu Longyue felt a chill run down her spine as she listened to this.
So even if she gets that position, she will still have to face the northern frontier in the future.
"I don't need to teach you the principle that those who are not of our race will surely have different hearts. If I were to dominate the world, I would not allow the northern Tartars to run rampant. If you want to enter the Central Plains, you will only have one path: surrender. Of course, the reason I supported you to sit on that throne is because I think you are easier to deal with than the Northern Emperor, or rather, easier to subdue. From now on, the life and death of the Northern Emperor will be in your hands. Think it over carefully."
Chen Futu waved his hand, and Liu Longyue left dejectedly with her head down.
"well said."
The woman in green arrived unexpectedly, clapping her hands with an expression of admiration.
Chen Futu asked suspiciously, "Why have you come?"
"I originally wanted to talk to you about something, but I didn't expect to hear such interesting news."
The woman in green casually sat down on Chen Futu's table and picked up an orange.
Chen Futu said helplessly, "Do you think I shouldn't stop now and should take action against Beiwu?"
“Your father’s death is related to the Northern Wu, the Tartars, and the Great Qian. Naturally, I hope you will send troops soon. However, the Northern Frontier has its own strategy, and I, a woman, will not offer my opinions.”
"I will never forget my father's revenge for a moment. When I take them down, I will make them pay the price."
"I'm looking for you this time because I want to go back to Zhongnan Mountain."
"Didn't you promise to stay? Why are you leaving now?" Chen Futu was taken aback.
"There's no other way. Wugensheng from Hanhai said he wanted to spar with me, and I'm not afraid of him."
"Can you not leave?"
To be honest, Chen Futu had some affection for this cheap aunt and master. With her in the royal court, there was no need to worry about assassins at all.
"Are you reluctant to part with me, or with my martial prowess?" the man in green asked disdainfully.
Chen Futu replied reluctantly, "Of course I can't bear to part with you."
"Kid, you've got a sweet tongue. You know how to charm girls better than your father."
"So, can you stay?"
"I'll send Wugensheng away first, and I'll try to come back before the New Year."
"Should I arrange for a general to accompany you? Or perhaps Qiwen could go with you; he is, after all, a Grandmaster with considerable strength."
“No need.” Qingyi stretched. “Although Qiwen is a Grandmaster, he is still a step below me and Wugensheng. Besides, I should tell you that there are quite a few Grandmasters in the world.”
"Aren't there only four?" Chen Futu was taken aback. The man in green shook his head and said, "That's just the surface. There are actually some who live in seclusion. As far as I know, there are several powerful figures in the Western Regions alone, such as the Dharma King and the Holy Maiden of the Black Desert. There are also quite a few powerful Gu practitioners in the Southern Frontier."
"What about the Northern Wu and the Tartars?"
"There are strong people in the Northern Martial Kingdom, but they are all old guys whose blood and energy are declining. As for the Khan's Court, I only know of Golden Knife Butcher, and I have no impression of the others."
As Chen Futu listened to the man in green recount the names of those powerful figures, his scalp tingled. It seemed that the improvement of the generals' strength had to be accelerated. What if one day all the powerful figures gathered on the front lines of the Northern Frontier?
In the afternoon, Chen Futu personally escorted Qingyi and the female swordswoman onto the carriage. He also arranged for several Imperial Guards and fifty elite female soldiers to accompany them. If there was a result in the battle of Zhongnan Mountain, it was necessary to report to Longcheng in a timely manner.
"Don't worry, Wugensheng is no match for me. You can go back now."
The woman in green waved her hand and gracefully followed the carriage away.
Chen Futu stared in the direction she left for a long time, lost in thought. Then Mao Xiang and Guan Xing came to his side, and they selected someone to secretly go to Beiwu.
"Mao Xiang, take Guo Yunqi and Liang Huan with you and escort them out of Longcheng."
Upon receiving the order, Mao Xiang immediately obeyed and left.
Guan Xing whispered, "Your Majesty has already begun to make arrangements for the Northern Martial Kingdom. Should I make a trip there myself?"
“Beiwu is bitterly cold, I’m afraid you won’t be able to stand it.”
“It’s alright. The Tianji Tower will take some time to complete. I will personally go to Beiwu to plan it out, which will allow me to establish an intelligence system more efficiently.” Guan Xing seemed somewhat stubborn.
Chen Futu raised an eyebrow at her flawless face. "If you want to run away, just say so. Why be so high and mighty?"
Realizing his thoughts had been exposed, Guan Xing looked away sheepishly.
The fact that Chen Futu was assassinated on the day of his coronation, and that Qingyi killed two master assassins from the Red Moon Pavilion, shows that the Red Moon Pavilion has many backup plans in Dragon City. She doesn't want to be exposed, so she might as well go to Beiwu to hide for a while and come back after the New Year. Once the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is completed, the Red Moon Pavilion won't be able to find her, making her even safer.
"Okay, you go."
Chen Futu took out a Creation Pill and a Nirvana Pill and solemnly placed them in Guan Xing's hand. Guan Xing asked in surprise, "What are these?"
"The Creation Pill can remove all toxins and lesions, and can even improve a person's comprehension and physical constitution, while the Nirvana Pill can allow a person to break through from the Innate to the Grandmaster level."
Chen Futu's calm words made Guan Xing's eyes widen suddenly. "Such a wondrous thing exists in the world? My illness can be cured..."
"I obtained this by chance. I currently only have three Creation Pills. Xiu Ning ate one, and I'll give you one now. As for the Nirvana Pill, I originally planned to give it to my soldiers at the peak of the Innate Realm. Now that you're going to Beiwu, your Innate Realm level isn't high enough. It would be best if you could reach the Grandmaster level. If the Great Wizard poses a threat to you, you can deal with it with ease."
Upon hearing this, Guan Xing bit her lip and silently gripped the pill, her eyes sparkling. Then she pulled Chen Futu into the carriage.
As soon as Chen Futu sat down, Guan Xing lightly kissed him on the cheek.
"What are you doing?" Chen Futu covered his face in surprise.
"I accept this favor."
"So, Miss Stargazer, you want to become my concubine?"
"Dream on, I have no intention of becoming a caged bird in the harem."
After she finished speaking, she took the Creation Pill.
Before long, her pale face gradually regained its rosy glow, and she became increasingly energetic, practically radiant.
Finally, Guan Xing opened his eyes, staring at his hands in surprise and exclaiming, "So this is the effect of the elixir! I feel my energy and blood rapidly recovering, it feels so good..."
"Comfortable? Stargazing lady, could you make me feel comfortable too?" Chen Futu shamelessly tried to reach out and touch her.
