The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

At this moment, the soldiers seemed to have been reborn.

It's not that people have changed, but that their spirit has changed.

"My lord..."

A soldier suddenly stood up, his face resolute, wanting to show his loyalty, and said, "I, I have something to report to the Duke."

"speak!"

"Well, Chen Xiong is an extremely shrewd man. While he defended Wusheng Pass with utmost tightness, he was also worried that the imperial army might be able to outflank and launch a surprise attack. Therefore, he set up a fortified post behind Wusheng Pass and appointed a commander to prevent them from flanking us."

"Oh?"

Ren Tianye was slightly surprised.

This Chen Xiong, putting aside everything else, is really skilled in military strategy and warfare; he has basically considered everything that can be considered.

It's fair to say that without Xiao Che's divine assistance, their attack on Wusheng Pass would have been far more difficult than they had imagined.

As for Zhang Shi, who had already been sent out to flank the enemy, Ren Tianye was not worried. With Zhang Shi's battlefield experience, even if he was discovered, he would be able to escape unscathed.

"What exactly is the situation inside that pavilion?"

"My lord, there are a hundred soldiers inside the fortified post, with a post commander and a signal sergeant. Once the imperial army is spotted flanking us, they will immediately light the signal fire to send a message."

"Um!"

Ren Tianye nodded.

This is essentially a minor obstacle. Now that he has already conquered Wusheng Pass, this small obstacle with only a hundred or so people won't pose much of a hindrance to him.

However, he was quite satisfied that the person in front of him was willing to report this. It seemed that the situation in Yunjing was just as he had imagined. The supremacy of love was even promoted as a policy in Yunjing, but it was only for those high-ranking people who were in power. Ordinary people suffered greatly from it.

They are willing to report it.

That's good!

It's a good thing that not everyone is mentally ill.

"Report!"

"Report!"

"Report!"

Just then, a light cavalryman sped up at high speed.

Before they even got close, they tumbled off their horses, and judging from the attire of this light cavalryman, he was clearly someone Zhang Shi had sent back to deliver a message.

"My lord, General Zhang Shi has ordered me to report this immediately."

"General Zhang Shi discovered a pavilion behind Wusheng Pass, but the specific details were unclear. He did not send anyone to investigate, but instead quickly took a detour, crossing mountains and valleys, to get back to the back of Wusheng Pass."

Ren Tianye glanced at the approaching light cavalry and sighed, "Take them away to rest."

"My lord, General Zhang Shi also said that the situation is more critical than we imagined. Please make preparations accordingly..."

Before Qingqi could finish speaking, he shut his mouth.

Because the actual situation was not quite what General Zhang Shi had anticipated!

No, it's so different!

The light cavalry were taken away to rest, and Ren Tianye returned to his camp. After the army rested for one night, he led his men to Guanxiang Town the next morning.

At the entrance of Guanxiang Town, Su Jin, dressed in coarse linen, stood respectfully to one side.

"Su Jin greets Your Excellency the Duke!"

Su Jin knelt down and bowed.

"Get up." Ren Tianye said with a faint smile, "You did a good job investigating the situation at Wusheng Pass. This battle deserves some credit for you."

"You seem to have a good understanding of the situation in Yunjing as well."

"They are the heroes who led the troops here."

"Right now, I need manpower. I will reinstate you to your original position and promote you one rank to serve as a Demon Suppression Envoy in the Demon Suppression Division!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jin's face lit up with joy.

Xie Changfeng was also beaming with joy.

When Su Jin was demoted, he took over Su Jin's position, but only temporarily as the Deputy Demon Suppressor of the Demon Suppressing Division. Now that Su Jin has returned, he has been promoted to Demon Suppressor.

Then he was almost certain.

Before long, he will definitely be promoted.

The word "temporary" needs to be removed!

and……

Su Jin has been promoted to Demon Suppression Envoy, so Zhou Ze, the former Demon Suppression Division Chief, will most likely be transferred to a more important position. Su Jin was recommended and appointed by Zhou Ze, which is a good thing.

Thinking this, the joy on his face deepened.

He quickly took Su Jin's demon-suppressing robe himself.

Someone stood to the side, shielding Su Jin with a cloth, and helped her change.

When Su Jin reappeared...

Dressed in a black, fitted outfit with dark gold trim that accentuated his cold and aloof features.

The "Lotus of Severance" on his chest was as fierce as a blade, and the Love-Severing Blade and the Xuan Tie Token at his waist complemented each other, exuding a chilling imperial aura.

Her narrow sleeves and thin boots accentuated her tall and straight figure, and every gesture she made exuded the sharpness and decisiveness unique to the Demon Suppression Division, making people afraid to look directly at her.

It's truly eye-catching.

Wang Ming then leaned closer and whispered, "Su Jin, that Lu Shuang..."

"Don't worry," Su Jin said. "She's hidden in the mountains and forests. She's fine. We just can't find her for a while, but she'll come out once things calm down at Wusheng Pass."

"At that time, I will inform the Duke and invite her to join my Demon Suppression Division."

Wang Ming felt relieved.

If that's the case, then his lingering guilt will be over.

"However, her mother and brother are really going too far. I need the Duke's approval to handle this."

Su Jin reported to Ren Tianye.

Ren Tianye was aware of the situation and immediately nodded. His purpose in coming to this town was to reverse the outrageous atmosphere in Yunjing.

Immediately, Su Jin let out a soft snort, and all the elite Demon Suppression Guards of the Demon Suppression Division followed her and rushed straight to Lu Shuang's house.

Meanwhile, Wang Guihua and Lu Shuang's younger brother, Lu Li, were still immersed in joy.

"Mother, are you saying that my sister can marry Lord Chen Xiong? Doesn't that mean she'll receive a large dowry?"

"Haha, then I'll have my dowry for the wedding!"

"No, it's not just the betrothal gifts; Xiaoli has also set her sights on a house, a four-courtyard house. Now, we have it!"

Wang Guifang looked at her son with doting eyes and said, "Of course! We've raised her for so many years, just waiting for her to bring in some money!"

"This time, you'll have to keep all of her dowry."

"Not only that, after she marries General Chen Xiong, you can ask her for money every now and then. If you don't have money to buy wine, you can ask her for money. If you and Xiao Li want to do something, you can ask her for money too."

"If she doesn't give it to you, then go and make a scene at Lord Chen Xiong's place."

"besides……"

Wang Guifang became happier and happier as she talked, and she began to fantasize about the wonderful days to come. She said, "You're just loafing around now, and you don't have anything proper to do."

"After Lu Shuang marries Lord Chen Xiong, you should have Lu Shuang find you a leisurely job, one that's easy but pays well."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Li suddenly thought of all sorts of possibilities, his eyes shining brightly: "My sister is married to Lord Chen Xiong, so I'll be Lord Chen Xiong's brother-in-law from now on. In this Guan Township, who would dare to mess with me?"

"Those gambling dens dared to set up a scheme to cheat me out of my money. After Lu Shuang marries Lord Chen Xiong, I'll bring my men and smash their shops to pieces."

"From now on, in this remote town, I, Lu Li, will walk with my head held high!"

"That's right!" Wang Guifang smiled, her eyes crinkling into slits, and said firmly, "From now on, in Guanxiang Town, our son will be able to walk with his head held high!"
