Chapter 89: The Two Heroes of the Prairie

  They had been accompanied by a group of Xiongnu officials since they entered the Xiongnu border, and everything went smoothly along the way. However, Xu Haifeng took it upon himself to ensure the princess's safety under the guise of official business.

  Liu Junshu had just raised an objection when Liu Ting scolded him severely, he couldn't understand why the gentle and kind little princess suddenly burst into a big temper. He thought it was because the Huns were approaching and the little princess was in a bad mood. From then on, he tried to avoid her as much as possible, not wanting to trigger another outburst.

  Since the princess's guards had all been replaced by brave warriors of the Black Flag Army, Xu Haifeng could now enter and exit the princess's tent without fear of being discovered.

  As for the four maidservants who accompanied the princess as her dowry, they were all confidantes who had grown up with Liu Ting since childhood. Under the master's indication, they naturally kept their mouths shut and didn't dare to speak much.

  These four maidservants, although not as beautiful as Lin Wanxin and the other girls when considered individually, were already on par with Wanling and Xianling, and were all rare beauties. What's even more astonishing is that they were extremely rare quadruplets. The four identical pretty faces appeared simultaneously in front of him, their allure almost rivaling that of the other girls.

  They are just younger than Liu Ting by two years at this time, and if they grow up in the future, their charm will be unique.

  For these four little maids, Xu Haifeng also suffered a scolding from the commander of the Jiang army. According to reason, they should have followed Liu Ting to marry Modu Chanyu, but since Liu Ting knew she could avoid this disaster, she begged Xu Haifeng to rescue all four of them at the same time.

  Xu Haifeng couldn't bear to refuse the bitter pleas of the little beauty, and with his own selfish motives at play, he finally agreed. Of course, as for how to carry it out, that would be up to Jiang Kongming to worry about. As expected, when Jiang Da Junshi heard that they had to rescue four people again, he immediately lost his composure and cursed loudly, but after his anger dissipated, he still had no choice but to come up with a plan for him.

  This month, every night Xu Haifeng has been enjoying the blessings of others. What puzzles him is that although all the women are obedient to him, they seem to have conspired together and, except for Lin Wanting, the rest of them guard their last pass and refuse to really ** with him.

  Xu Haifeng was furious, questioning her one by one. In the end, Tang Rourou couldn't bear the torture and told him that she would only agree to consummate their marriage when his martial arts skills reached the seventh level of Jing Xin Jue. As for the reason behind this, she refused to say anything no matter what.

  He was at a loss, and didn't want to use force, so he could only work hard and strive for an early breakthrough. However, the faster he wanted it, the slower his progress became. Later, after Xia Yajun reminded him, he stopped forcing himself, and everything went naturally, who knew that this way, his skills suddenly made rapid progress, and there were signs of a breakthrough on the horizon.

  One month later, Xu Haifeng's large army finally arrived at Xijing City, the capital of the Huns.

  The Xiongnu were composed of countless nomadic tribes on the grasslands, but years of conflict and exchange with the Great Han had also taught them to build cities. The Western Capital was their capital, although it could not be compared to the capital of the Great Han, it was already quite large in scale.

  As the city gate was approaching, more than 100 riders suddenly ran out from inside the city. They galloped to a stop and halted their horses at a distance of one arrow shot away. Their movements were uniform and they wore a suit of golden armor, which was the personal guard corps of the Xiongnu king - the Golden Wolf Army.

  "In accordance with the imperial edict of our great Khan Modun Shanyu, I hereby welcome the queen into the city."

  Kuabao Ying's voice was deep and powerful, echoing far away in the wilderness. Liu Junshu and others were all shocked and lost color, this person's internal strength was so strong that it was no less than a top-notch master. The Xiongnu claimed to be the first in the world in terms of martial arts, and indeed, they produced many talented people who should not be underestimated.

  At this time, the accompanying Xiongnu officer said with a face full of reverence: "The princess's face is really big, and even Huo Qubing has come to welcome her in person."

  Liu Junshu asked: "Who is this Lord Bao?"

  The official looked at him with disdain and said, "Bao Bao Gongzi is known as the Eagle of the Grasslands, born into royalty, young in age but already a commander of ten thousand men in the Golden Wolf Army. Alongside Lishi, the Wolf of the Grasslands, he is considered one of our country's two greatest rising stars."

  Jiang Kongming, who had been keeping a low profile and silent in front of outsiders, suddenly whispered to Xu Haifeng's ear: "This person is here to show off."

  "How can you be sure?" asked Xu Haifeng in doubt.

  "We have a heavy load on our shoulders and are moving extremely slowly. If they were truly sincere in their welcome, they could have left the city to wait for us long ago. Instead, they insist on waiting until we arrive at the city gate before putting on this pretentious show. Tell me, isn't this just a display of arrogance?"

  Xu Haifeng secretly seethed with anger, thinking to himself "So you're here to give us a warning." He turned his head towards Jiang Kongming and said harshly: "We can't lose face, what do you think we should do?" Since Jiang Kongming was by his side, he would naturally make use of him and let him come up with a plan.

  Jiang Kongming smiled slightly, looking confident and self-assured. He beckoned to Xu Haiming and gave him a few instructions, then heard Xu Haiming say loudly: "According to the rules of our Great Han, Your Highness has not yet consummated her marriage with the Xiongnu Chanyu, so at present she is still a princess of our Great Han, not a queen of your country. General, don't make a mistake in addressing her."

  Xu Haoming is also a top-notch expert, and this sentence was spoken with full force, within the count of numbers, crystal clear.

  Kou Batuo looked towards Xu Haiming's direction, he didn't expect that among the thousands of people in this group, there was a young expert whose strength was not inferior to his own.

  His eyes burst out with a fierce light, and he said loudly: "This is the land of my Xiongnu country. Since you have come, you must follow local customs and do things according to our Xiongnu rules. Please also ask the general to bring the princess here, so that I can report back to the Chanyu."

  "After a few breaths, Xu Haiming's voice sounded again: 'General, your words are wrong. As long as the princess is in our army for one day, she will be the Princess of Great Han. If you don't believe it, you can come and take her yourself.'"

  As soon as he spoke, more than a hundred Golden Wolf soldiers behind him changed color, they shouted and neatly lined up to urge their horses to come before the army.

  Liu Junshu was shocked and immediately ordered his men to draw their swords, string their bows, and form a tight array in preparation for battle.

  Just as Bao Ba Tie and the others had reached within ten or more meters of the troops, they suddenly stopped. Liu Jun had just let out a breath when he unexpectedly discovered that Bao Ba Tie and the others' gazes were not directed at his two hundred Imperial Guards.

  The Golden Wolf Army, as the personal guard of the Xiongnu king, was known for being the strongest military force in the world. Its strength was so great that even the Red Spear Cavalry of the Great Han had to yield to it by a margin of three parts.

  Those who can be selected for this army are all seasoned veterans, and they can naturally feel the majesty and killing intent displayed by the Black Flag Army.

  Kou Batian gazed at the Black Flag Army's soldiers, his face expressionless, but his heart was shocked beyond words.

  Compared to the over 200 tense and vigilant Imperial Guards, not a single one of the more than 3,000 Black Flag soldiers showed even a hint of tension. They didn't even touch the hilts of their swords at their waists. Everyone was watching this scene with indifference and calmness, and it was impossible to find any ripples in their eyes.

  However, it was these expressionless black flag soldiers who brought them endless and enormous pressure, which increased exponentially with the passage of time. Looking at these hollow-eyed soldiers, all the Xiongnu people felt a chill running down their spine that seemed to emanate from the very bottom of their hearts.

  A faint "ding" echoed through the silent air, and a Golden Wolf soldier finally couldn't bear the pressure, suddenly drawing out his saber from his waist. This action seemed to ignite the fuse of an explosive package, triggering a chain reaction. The rest of the Golden Wolf soldiers almost simultaneously drew out their sabers as well, over a hundred gleaming blades flashing with a dangerous and dazzling light under the sunlight.

  They were either just a black flag army as opponents or remained unmoved, as if the ones standing in front of them were not the mighty Golden Wolf Army, but some paper tigers.

  Just as a big fight was about to break out, Bao Zheng suddenly shouted: "Halt!"

  His voice was like thunder, and his might shook several miles. Those Golden Wolf soldiers finally let out a breath and stopped their further actions.

  Xu Haifeng frowned and glanced at him disdainfully, thinking to himself: "What a loudmouth, if you want to compare who has the louder voice, I'll let Qin Yong teach you a lesson."

  Kuabao Eagle took another glance at the Black Flag Army, noticing that these people were vastly different in terms of appearance, physique and skin color, making them a motley crew composed of troops from multiple nations. Logically speaking, the more diverse a troop is, the weaker its combat strength should be, but this particular troop before him completely defied such conventional wisdom.

  Unless they were all idiots, how else could they remain calm in the face of the Golden Wolf Army entering a state of combat?

  If you say these people are idiots, then look up at the sky and see that the sun still rises in the east today.

  He took a deep breath and said loudly, "A great reputation is not to be taken lightly, the Black Flag Army's name is not in vain. I am Bao Bu Tong, may I ask which one of you is General Xu?"

  It wasn't just him, even Su Chunwei and others let out a sigh of relief at the same time. If they were to clash with the Golden Wolf Army now, regardless of the outcome, their lives would be in danger. Even if they managed to save their lives and return to Great Han, it would be hard to avoid blame.

  Xu Haifeng hid behind and heard someone asking him, loudly shouting: "It is indeed the last general, what instructions does Lord Bao have?"

  Kua Baiying looked at Xu Haifeng, who was standing far away, with a surprised expression. He had always thought that the general in command of the Black Flag Army was one of the three officials standing at the front of the team, and only now did he realize that he was greatly mistaken.

  "General Xu..."

  "General Kuai, this time I'm just a deputy envoy and can't make any decisions. If you have anything to discuss, please find Vice Minister Su of the Ministry of Rites. I will follow his instructions." Xu Haifeng interrupted him and expressed his intentions.

  Kua Baiying listened to this speech, which was almost shameless, and he could hardly believe his ears. Was it really such a commander who trained the Black Flag Army into such a powerful force? That would be too unreasonable. He looked at those standing upright Black Flag soldiers, and a thought flashed through his mind - these people wouldn't all be silver guns and wax candles, would they?
