I, a spoiled young master, conquered the Crown Princess right from the start!

Chu Feng turned his head and saw that Jiang Tianyao, who had been aloof and noble just moments before, now had a flushed face as if she were drunk, and her phoenix eyes were misty and filled with a hazy longing.

Her body went limp, and she uncontrollably fell into Chu Feng's arms, her jade-like arms instinctively wrapping around his neck, her hot, delicate body pressing tightly against him.

"It's hot... I'm so hot..."

"I want...me..."

Jiang Tianyao whispered in Chu Feng's ear, her voice acting like the most powerful catalyst, instantly igniting the flames within Chu Feng.

"You said it yourself." Chu Feng looked down at the stunning beauty in his arms, a wicked smile curving his lips. "Consider it my reward for saving you."

Before he finished speaking, he scooped Jiang Tianyao up in his arms and dashed into a cave not far away.

Soon, a blush-inducing symphony began to resound from inside the cave…

As night fell, the storm inside the cave finally subsided.

Jiang Tianyao slowly opened her eyes. The moment her consciousness returned, the aches and strange sensations throughout her body made her sit up abruptly.

When she saw the bruises and bruises on her body and the messy scene, her beautiful face instantly turned frosty.

She turned her head sharply, and a gleaming dagger had appeared in her hand without her noticing, pressed firmly against the neck of the man beside her.

"How dare you... defile me!" Her voice trembled slightly with extreme anger.

Chu Feng didn't even open his eyes, he just lazily stretched, completely ignoring the sharp edge on his neck.

"Hey lady, you change your attitude faster than flipping through a book! You weren't like this when you were crying and begging me just now."

"You!" Jiang Tianyao blushed with anger at his flippant words.

"What's wrong with me?" Chu Feng opened his eyes, grabbed her wrist holding the dagger, and twisted it gently, causing the dagger to fall to the ground. He then rolled over, pinning the startled Jiang Tianyao beneath him, their eyes meeting.

"You were drugged, and I was doing this to save you. Besides, I saved your life, so what's wrong with sleeping with you once?"

"You... let me go!" Jiang Tianyao struggled violently, but her strength was no different from that of a kitten in front of Chu Feng.

"Let go? Are you sure?" Chu Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile as he lowered his head and kissed those chattering red lips.

"Well……"

Jiang Tianyao's pupils dilated instantly. She wanted to resist, but the lingering passion deep within her body was reignited by the other party's domineering invasion.

Spring returns to the cave.

This absurd entanglement finally came to an end when night fell again.

Chu Feng got dressed and looked at the woman on the bed who was so tired that she didn't want to move a single finger. He felt inexplicably happy.

"What's your name?" Jiang Tianyao's voice was hoarse and tired. She didn't turn around, but just stared quietly at the cave ceiling.

"Chu Feng".

Leaving behind two words, Chu Feng walked out of the cave without looking back.

Jiang Tianyao watched his departing figure, her pearly teeth lightly biting her red lips, her phoenix eyes filled with an extremely complex expression.

She struggled to her feet, but after taking only two steps, her brows furrowed, her legs gave way, and she had to hold onto the cave wall for support.

"That guy... he's a beast!"

She muttered a curse under her breath, but a blush involuntarily crept onto her face.

Not long after they emerged from the cave, a group of imperial guards clad in golden armor, exuding a murderous aura, arrived. Upon seeing Jiang Tianyao, the leading general immediately knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I am late! Please forgive me!"

Jiang Tianyao straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, regaining her imperial majesty, and coldly commanded, "Immediately investigate a man named 'Chu Feng.' I need to know everything about him!"

……

The northern border, the Zhenbei Army camp.

When Chu Feng returned, he was greeted by the anxious expressions of Po Jun and the others.

"Your Highness! Something terrible has happened! Something's happened at the Prince's residence!" Po Jun exclaimed urgently. "News has come from the capital that His Majesty has dispatched the Imperial Guards to surround the Prince's residence, and it seems they intend to harm the Prince!"

Chu Feng's face instantly darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Pass on my order!" His voice was icy, devoid of any emotion. "Assemble the entire army and follow me back to the capital!"

"Your Highness, this..." Po Jun and the others looked troubled. "If our entire army returns to the capital, it will confirm our treasonous charges!"

"Treason?" Chu Feng sneered. "If Lu Tianqian dares to lay a finger on my grandfather, I'll make sure his reign as emperor ends in disaster!"

He paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and then issued a series of orders.

"Po Jun! Immediately send men to announce to the world that the Prince of Kao Shan, the Marquis of Wei Yuan, and the Marquis of Ding Guo have colluded with the barbarians to cede three cities in the northern border! Let every citizen of the Great Qian Dynasty know the ugly faces of these three traitors!"

"At the same time, announce to the world that our Zhenbei Army has utterly defeated the barbarians at Black Wind Gorge, and has even marched straight to the heart of the enemy, flattening the barbarian royal court and beheading the barbarian emperor! Hang the barbarian emperor's corpse above the northern city gates, so that the whole world can see what fate awaits those who offend our Great Qian!"

"By the way, I... I shouldn't mention it!" Chu Feng's lips curled into a playful smile. "I'm the kind of person who likes to keep a low profile."

Po Jun and the others were stunned, but then their blood boiled, and they readily accepted the order.

The following day, two pieces of news, like two bombshells, completely detonated throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty!

The three men, including the Mountain King, colluded with the barbarians, betraying their country for personal gain, which aroused the indignation of the people and gods, and countless people cursed them as traitors.

With tens of thousands of remaining soldiers, the Zhenbei Army not only routed the enemy forces but also wiped out the barbarian threat that had plagued the Great Qian Dynasty for a century, and killed the barbarian emperor!

In an instant, the prestige of the Zhenbei Army reached an unprecedented peak! The cries of "The Zhenbei Army is mighty!" and "Guardian of the Great Qian Dynasty!" resounded throughout the north and south of the country.

Meanwhile, in the capital city, the atmosphere in the imperial palace was extremely oppressive.

Lu Tianqian sat on the dragon throne, his face so gloomy it could drip water, his clenched fists revealing prominent veins.

His heart was filled with shock and anger. He never imagined that the Zhenbei Army would not only not be wiped out, but would actually destroy the barbarian tribe that had plagued the Great Qian for hundreds of years!

How the damned Zhenbei Army managed to do that?

"My esteemed ministers, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Lu Tianqian's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

"Your Majesty!" Duke Shen stepped forward first. "The Zhenbei Army's annihilation of the barbarians is indeed a great achievement! But they left the northern border without imperial decree and are now pressing in with their army, heading straight for the capital! What are they trying to do? Are they planning a rebellion?"

"I believe we should immediately dispatch a large army to intercept them, as a warning to others!"

"Duke Shen, you are mistaken!" Duke Xiao immediately retorted, "If the Zhenbei Army truly harbored rebellious intentions, why would they have guarded the northern border for our Great Qian for decades? Their return to the capital this time is presumably because they learned that His Majesty had sent troops to besiege the Zhenbei Prince's residence, and they are dissatisfied and have come to demand an explanation! The most urgent matter is for His Majesty to immediately withdraw the imperial guards besieging the Prince's residence and properly appease the Zhenbei Prince to stabilize the morale of the army. This is the best course of action!"

"Appease? Wouldn't that be bowing down to the Prince of Zhenbei?" Duke Shen sneered. "In the future, will His Majesty or the Prince of Zhenbei be in charge of this Great Qian Dynasty?"

The imperial court was immediately thrown into chaos.

Lu Tianqian's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on the head of the officials who had remained silent all along.

"Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Prime Minister Su Wenyuan slowly stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said in a steady voice, "Your Majesty, in any case, the Zhenbei Army's annihilation of the barbarians is a tremendous achievement and deserves to be rewarded."

"The siege of the Prince's residence is indeed likely to cause misunderstandings and is not conducive to the stability of the court. I believe that the best course of action is to first withdraw the Imperial Guards, and at the same time issue an edict to reward the Prince of Zhenbei and the Zhenbei Army handsomely, so as to demonstrate Your Majesty's benevolence and power. Then, order them to return to the northern border to garrison immediately. This is the best course of action."

Lu Tianqian remained silent for a long time before finally squeezing out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Granted!"

He suppressed his humiliation and anger and ordered: "By imperial decree, the Prince of Zhenbei is hereby granted the title of 'Pillar of the Nation,' with a fief of a thousand households, a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, and a thousand acres of fertile land! The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army will be promoted three ranks and rewarded with a million taels of silver!"
