Bai Zixuan has never been particularly fond of Bai Li.

Deep down, I've always despised it.

They hadn't known Bai Li for long, and hadn't accomplished anything significant. It was just that the Grand Palace Master, for some reason, immediately recognized Bai Li as someone with potential.

That's why it took so much effort.

He helped her fake her death to escape, took her as his personal disciple, and trained her behind closed doors.

Even so, Bai Li still failed to meet her approval.

In terms of ability, seniority, and loyalty to the three palace masters and the entire Tongxin Alliance, Bai Zixuan far surpasses Bai Li, yet she is still overshadowed by Bai Li.

They must always be one step ahead.

Upon hearing Bai Li's words, Bai Zixuan's expression changed.

He stood up abruptly, solemn and dignified.

His eyes instantly blazed with intense admiration.

"Third Palace Master, you're amazing!"

"I was blind before, and I couldn't understand why the Grand Palace Master insisted on choosing you. Now I understand."

"You've really surprised me."

"You are my role model!"

Bai Zixuan became more and more excited as she spoke, and her respect for Bai Li grew stronger.

"According to our Tongxin Alliance's investigation of Ren Tianye, he is a guy who doesn't understand love and is heartless. He thinks that military power is more important than anything else, but he doesn't know that the beauty of love is the true meaning of life."

"Getting close to him is incredibly difficult."

"But you, Third Palace Master, actually thought of using this army of 200,000 as a bargaining chip. This is simply a genius idea."

"In the words of the Grand Palace Master..."

"Damn it!"

"This move is a sure way to force Ren Tianye to come to his aid. Given his personality, how could he possibly refuse? Then, Third Palace Master, you can openly and legitimately enter Ren Tianye's life!"

"Get closer to him, understand him, and then..."

A ruthless glint appeared on Bai Zixuan's face: "Take revenge on him severely."

However, this hint of ruthlessness quickly turned into heartfelt respect and admiration: "What is most commendable is that your target for revenge against Ren Tianye is exactly what Ren Tianye lacks the most."

"He doesn't understand love."

"Let him fall into the whirlpool of love!"

"He despised the love and affection of this world, so let him be trapped here, lose his love, and live a lonely life until his death."

"This is a hundred times worse than killing him!"

"No, ten thousand times!"

Bai Zixuan, as expected of the elite among the elites of the Tongxin Alliance, quickly and clearly grasped all of Bai Li's actions and intentions, and felt a surge of high recognition for Bai Li from the bottom of her heart.

A slight smile appeared on Bai Li's face.

True friends are hard to find, but Protector Bai is one who truly understands her heart.

"Third Palace Master, since you already have a plan for this matter..."

"I will do everything in my power to accomplish this for you!"

Bai Zixuan took his leave and, after leaving the tent, saw the Seven Heroes of Chifeng waiting at the entrance of the commander's tent.

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng swarmed around her, bombarding her with questions, but she ignored them all and instead gave the order: "Now, I, Bai Zixuan, am here on the orders of the Third Palace Master to issue you military commands."

"Kneel down and obey the Third Palace Master's decree!"

The seven heroes of Chifeng were furious again, but they had no choice but to kneel down one by one.

Then they heard Bai Zixuan's military order.

Two hundred thousand troops were given to Ren Tianye.

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng were instantly enraged!

"What?"

"Zixuan, did you say something wrong, or did I mishear you?"

"We're going to hand over our 200,000 troops to Ren Tianye? This is our hard work and our guarantee!"

……

Bai Zixuan's gaze was icy as she slowly swept over the Seven Heroes of Chifeng.

As it turns out, any movement or subtle change in Bai Zixuan's expression could subdue the Seven Heroes of Chifeng.

And so, unsurprisingly...

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng ordered the drums to be beaten.

With the sound of three drumbeats, all members of the Lin family army were in position.

After Lin Zixiao's turmoil, the Lin family army no longer has 200,000 men. However, with the support of 10,000 Shenji Battalion soldiers, they have regained a considerable number of them.

There are still over 100,000.

They stood there in a large, orderly formation, exuding an imposing aura.

Xiao Lie, the leader of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng, began to make the announcement.

"Our Lin family army now has a new commander-in-chief, a natural-born talent capable of strategizing for the country, and moreover, she is a woman..."

Xiao Lie tried his best to create a sacred image for Bai Li, just as he had done for Lin Zixiao back then, and said, "She now has military orders."

"It makes us..."

Xiao Lie paused, his gaze sweeping over all the soldiers.

They all looked on with anticipation.

Then, Xiao Lie said, "Order us to pack our bags and prepare to surrender. From now on, we will be under Ren Tianye's command."

Boom!

It was as if a thunderclap had suddenly sounded from nowhere.

The army, which had been as cold and stern as iron just moments before, was thrown into chaos in an instant.

It looks like boiling water.

Everyone is suspicious.

They were either doubting that Xiao Lie had said something wrong, or they were doubting that they had heard it wrong.

It wasn't until the other six members of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng also stepped forward to confirm that the military order was correct that the soldiers became even more agitated.

"Didn't we agree to share the spoils of supporting the emperor? What, are you surrendering again?"

"We fought Lin Zixiao to the death precisely because we refused to surrender. Now... the battle is over, we've won, and yet we're expected to surrender?"

"I risked my entire family to rebel with you, my own brothers are all dead, and what are you doing? One minute you're fighting, the next you're surrendering, then you fight again, then you surrender again?"

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just surrendered to Lin Zixiao and saved myself all this trouble."

"Sigh, don't count on Lin Zixiao anymore. I heard he accidentally fell off a cliff."

"Ugh, I'm going crazy! I knew being a soldier was tough, but I never imagined it would be this hard!"

……

The Lin family army's reaction was significantly stronger than when Lin Zixiao tried to recruit them. The main reason was that they had experienced it before and were more confident. They had also come to understand their own choices in recent days.

In addition, the seven members of the Seven Heroes of Chifeng were far less prestigious than Lin Zixiao, which is why they went through all this trouble.

But all this fuss is useless.

The Seven Heroes of Chifeng were able to control the Lin family army, especially with the addition of the 10,000-strong Shenji Battalion, armed with firearms and watching them intently. The soldiers were on the verge of collapse, but they were like meat on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

There was simply not much room for resistance.

As a result, the military order was quickly carried out, and then an envoy, a fine horse, and several attendants set off from the Lin family army camp, galloping towards the capital.

While standing at the foot of the city wall, he shouted that he wanted to see Ren Tianye.

Ren Tianye would not disagree.

After all, the advantage lies with the other side, and he has now reached the point where he needs to consider using a scorched earth policy.

The fact that the other party sent an envoy proves that there is an opportunity for peace talks.

He must seize the opportunity and then gather his strength.

He even makes firearms.

Fight back.

This made him take it very seriously, and he personally met with the envoy.

"This is a personal letter from our army's commander-in-chief."

Deputy General Wang Ming took the envelope. Fearing that there might be poison in it, Wang Ming, at Ren Tianye's instruction, opened it first and checked it.

Wang Ming had no intention of watching it.

But my gaze accidentally swept over it, and then...

I felt like I'd been struck by lightning!
