Liu Guanfeng glanced at the woman who had almost exposed his whereabouts that day, then looked at the troubled Shangguan Junhong and coldly said, "Your Highness, this woman is Consort Rou, the favorite of Qin Hongguan." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng fell silent.
After hearing Liu Guanfeng's words, Shangguan Junhong was taken aback. His surprise was not due to Consort Rou's identity, but rather Liu Guanfeng's tone and manner. This time, Liu Guanfeng did not call him "Second Brother" but addressed him directly as "Your Highness," and from his tone, he could sense Liu Guanfeng's dissatisfaction.
The Sixth Prince quickly grasped the underlying issue because of his status. As a crown prince, his daily tasks involved observing others and exercising restraint. Additionally, he was not a lecherous person, so the Sixth Prince was acutely aware of the seriousness of the situation. However, he did not understand why Liu Guanfeng would say such a thing; he knew that his elder brother would not harm him.
Thus, Shangguan Junhong realized what he needed to do: "Someone! Arrest all these women and send them back to the capital for trial."
Seeing Shangguan Junhong's response, Liu Guanfeng was very satisfied because this indicated that Shangguan Junhong was someone capable of achieving great things.
Shangguan Junhong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Consort Rou. She could not understand why her beauty and allure failed to move this young man at all. Consort Rou was well aware of Qin Hongguan's intentions and knew what would happen if the situation were exposed. Therefore, upon hearing the sounds of fighting below, she made a decision: she must seduce the high-ranking official in front of her so that she could easily distance herself from Qin Hongguan.
As soon as she spotted Shangguan Junhong, she immediately launched her attack. Initially thinking she had succeeded due to Shangguan Junhong's demeanor, she did not expect that a single remark from a nearby youth would easily shatter her offensive. Consort Rou glared fiercely at Liu Guanfeng.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng did not even open his eyes. At the same time, several soldiers behind them received orders and rushed forward, seizing every opportunity to bind the women. It took them quite some time to finally secure all the women properly.
Liu Guanfeng stood by as if he were oblivious to everything happening around him. Shangguan Junhong also seemed to have transformed into a different person, pretending not to see what was unfolding before him. With both commanders tacitly approving of the situation, even after the soldiers finished binding them, some women still struggled against their restraints.
Finally, after Liu Guanfeng coughed once, the soldiers reluctantly removed their hands from the women. Once re-bound, each woman appeared disheveled; particularly Consort Rou, whose clothing was extremely disordered and even torn in places.
After seeing that everyone had been captured, Liu Guanfeng let out a sigh of relief: "This mission has been completed. Shouldn't we return to report to His Majesty?"
Shangguan Junhong nodded: "This is my first time leading troops out; it feels really good. Fortunately, I had you by my side for assistance."
"We brothers need not mention such things; we should thank Brother Song for his considerable efforts."
"The younger generation thanks Senior Song."
Song Hero laughed heartily, "There's no need for that. In fact, Old Man should be thanking you even more. You have fulfilled Old Man's dream of leading troops into battle, and seeing your soldiers makes me think that if I were a hundred years younger, I would definitely come to your military camp to be a general. These soldiers are truly outstanding."
"Since the mission is complete, let's head back," Shangguan Jinglei made the final decision.
"Wait a minute. Don't you think it would be inappropriate to just go back like this?"
"What else do you have in mind, big brother?"
"Shouldn't we take that dragon throne back with us? It's the most valuable evidence."
"I almost forgot about that, big brother. Let's get a few people to lift that dragon throne down."
After saying that, several soldiers rushed into the main hall and exerted a lot of effort to lift the dragon throne. However, after just a few steps, they had to put it back down, all of them panting heavily.
Liu Guanfeng looked up at Hank Niu: "Why don't you give it a try and see if you can move it?"
Hank Niu grinned: "Of course I can. I was the one who put this Little Guy up there in the first place. Just watch me, master."
With that, Hank Niu strode over confidently. The soldiers stepped aside as he approached the dragon throne. He squatted down, supporting the base with one hand and holding onto the armrest with the other, shouting, "Lift!" The throne slowly began to rise off the ground.
Hank Niu lifted the throne onto his shoulder and walked over with it. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng smiled at Shangguan Junhong: "Second brother, we can leave now."
Only then did Shangguan Junhong realize: "Alright, let's go."
After saying that, he led everyone out of the basement. When they reached the garden, they noticed it was already dark outside. They quickly organized everyone to leave the general's residence and sealed the gates with a notice. They also dispatched many City Defense Soldiers to surround the residence to prevent anyone from sneaking in to steal valuables.
As they walked down the street, Hank Niu was undoubtedly the center of attention. His height towered over everyone else, and he carried a pure gold dragon throne on his shoulder. This spectacle caused all passersby to stop and stare, pointing at Hank Niu.
Hank Niu, however, appeared completely unconcerned and closely followed Liu Guanfeng.
After the group returned to the camp, Shangguan Junhong specifically arranged for a carriage to be modified, placing the Golden Dragon Throne on top, and to make it less conspicuous, he even found a cover for the throne.
Upon returning, another problem arose: Hank Niu had no place to stay. Due to his size, there were no suitable bedding options for him. Hank Niu scratched his head and said, "Master, how about I just make do with the straw pile in the back stable? I'm used to it anyway."
Hearing Hank Niu's words, Liu Guanfeng raised his eyebrows: "This is the master's matter; when did it become your place to speak?"
Hank Niu immediately shut his mouth at Liu Guanfeng's remark. At that moment, Shangguan Junhong displayed his princely demeanor and said to the Defensive General, "You need to go out immediately and find four sets of bedding. Then just sew them together with thread. But what about Hank Niu's bed?" Shangguan Junhong looked at Liu Guanfeng with difficulty.
"Brother, Hank Niu's size is really too big; it's impossible to prepare a bed for him in such a short time. How about we simply build one with wooden planks and then lay some straw mats and bedding on top? What do you think?"
Shangguan Junhong's suggestion pleased Liu Guanfeng greatly, so he nodded: "Thank you, Second Brother."
"Brother, it's nothing. This is all I can do. Once we return to the palace, I will have someone personally make a sturdy big bed for Brother Hank Niu."
The Sixth Prince's words left no room for rebuttal from the Defensive General, so soon enough, a simple bed was set up for Hank Niu in one of the rooms, complete with thick straw mats and bedding. Liu Guanfeng was quite satisfied with the Defensive General's performance.
The happiest one was undoubtedly Hank Niu. He couldn't wait to dive into his bed and after covering himself with the blanket, he said to Liu Guanfeng, "Master, I've never slept in such a comfortable place before. This is wonderful; you are truly great."
"You should thank the Sixth Prince; he arranged for this for you."
Hank Niu quickly got out of bed: "Thank you, Sixth Prince! You are really a good person."
Shangguan Junhong smiled slightly: "As long as you're satisfied. Now then, everyone hasn't eaten yet; let's go have a meal."
Soon enough, all the food was laid out. Hank Niu found the rice bowl too small and instead used a large bucket, pouring all the dishes into it and eating directly with his hands.
Liu Guanfeng walked over to Hank Niu and placed a serving spoon in front of him: "Hank Niu, remember that you shouldn't eat with your hands because it's not clean. You need to learn to use utensils. Given your appetite, this spoon will be your eating utensil. Remember to learn how to use it properly and wash your hands before eating."
"Oh, I understand," Hank Niu replied with a grin before getting up to wash his hands. After returning, he tried using the spoon to eat bite by bite. Liu Guanfeng felt very pleased upon seeing this.
The next morning, Shangguan Junhong gathered the troops and directly integrated the six thousand elite soldiers of Qin Hongguan into his own army. With nearly a hundred wooden cages and prisoner carts, they slowly made their way towards the Imperial Capital Longxing City under the escort of twenty thousand soldiers. That evening, Little Black returned again. Liu Guanfeng looked at Little Black and asked, "How are those two Tyrannosaurus Rex getting along?"
"Xiaofeng, you wouldn't believe it, but they really hit it off. They were both thrilled to see each other right away. The rest is none of my business."
"Senior Brother, I might need to trouble you once more."
"What is it this time?" Little Black looked at Liu Guanfeng warily.
"Nothing much, it's just that I recently got my Younger Brother, and he doesn't have a Mount yet, so I have to trouble you to make another trip."
"Xiaofeng, I just got back. You don't expect me to go to the Four Sacred Islands again, do you? That would wear me out."
"Senior Brother isn't going to the Four Sacred Islands."
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng's words, Little Black let out a sigh of relief. "As long as it's not the Four Sacred Islands, that's fine. That's too far. Just tell me where else it is."
"Then I’ll thank you in advance, Senior Brother."
"Why are you thanking me so soon? I have this nagging feeling that I'm being tricked. Where do you want me to go to get him a Mount?"
"Then let's go to Earth Dragon Island."
"Xiaofeng, are you trying to kill me? Earth Dragon Island is even farther than the Four Sacred Islands. Besides, Earth Dragon Island is full of Earth Dragons; can your subordinates handle them?"
"Senior Brother, it's not that I haven't considered other Mounts, but once you see him, you'll understand. Someone go and bring Hank Niu to me."
When Hank Niu arrived at Liu Guanfeng's room, he said, "Master, you called for me?"
"Hank Niu, this is my second Mount, and he is also my Senior Brother."
Hank Niu looked at the smaller Little Black and said, "Master, how did you get such a Mount? But this little dog is quite cute."
Upon hearing Hank Niu's words, Little Black immediately released a bolt of lightning that shocked Hank Niu all over. When Hank Niu realized that the lightning came from the black puppy in front of him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran behind Liu Guanfeng. "Master, your senior brother is too scary. How can he shock people just like you?"
"Hank Niu, who told you to be rude just now? From now on, you should call it 'Shibo,' and it won't shock you anymore."
"Shibo, I acknowledge my mistake. Please forgive me."
Seeing Hank Niu's naive expression, Little Black could only shake his head helplessly. "Xiaofeng, it seems I have to make another trip to Earth Dragon Island. Besides the Earth Dragons there, I really don't know what magical beast can carry your Younger Brother."
"Senior brother, then I will trouble you with this. But it would be best if you could bring back two Mounts this time; I'm afraid one Earth Dragon won't be enough."
Little Black looked up at Hank Niu and nodded. "Got it. What is your attribute, Hank Niu?"
"Attribute? What do you mean by attribute, Shibo?"
"Forget it, come here for a moment." Hank Niu approached Little Black, who placed its front paws on Hank Niu's body. After a short while, it opened its eyes and said, "Alright, I understand now. Hank Niu, your physique is quite good; you are pure Earth Attribute."
After saying this, Little Black turned to Liu Guanfeng and remarked, "I seem to be destined to run errands." Then Little Black left the room and soared off to Earth Dragon Island.
Three days later, Little Black returned. This time, not only did Little Black come back alone, but it also brought back two Earth Dragons. One was a Trihorn Earth Dragon, resembling a Triceratops from the Cretaceous period, while the other was called Bladehorn Earth Dragon, which had two Steel Blade-like horns on its forehead.
