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

"How could this happen?"

"How could this happen?"

In her own room, Qin Shuyao frowned, her face full of disbelief: "Wu Xingzhou, isn't he just a garrison commander? I even gave him that position. How come Pingling Town can't function without him?"

"If we kick him out, will Pinglingji still be in chaos?"

"How is that possible?"

Jiang Ping really didn't want to admit Wu Xingzhou's prestige and ability in Pinglingji, but the current chaotic situation forced him to acknowledge it.

He said bitterly, "The people of Pinglingji all listen to Wu Xingzhou and trust him. When Wu Xingzhou is around, the people of Pinglingji can be united, but Wu Xingzhou is not here..."

"The people's hearts will be scattered!"

"With morale shattered, let alone the mere four thousand soldiers in Pingling Town, even if there were forty thousand, they would be nothing more than forty thousand pigs. If Ren Tianye were to charge, countless soldiers would trample each other in the process!"

Jiang Ping paused, looking at Qin Shuyao in front of him.

Wearing silk is the most beautiful and heart-stirring look, but at this moment, knowing that danger is imminent, he cannot muster any emotion at all.

He then said, "For now, we have no choice but to leave."

"Shu Yao, come with me."

"Pinglingji cannot be defended. As soon as Ren Tianye's army arrives, the soldiers of Pinglingji will either surrender or be defeated on the spot."

"At that point, we won't be able to leave even if we wanted to."

This was a fair suggestion, but Qin Shuyao immediately shook her head vigorously: "No, no, I can't leave!"

Jiang Ping immediately thought of Qin Shuyao's relationship with her family. It was precisely because of those reasons that Qin Shuyao had been staying in such a small place as Pinglingji and was unwilling to return to Yunjing.

Knowing he couldn't persuade her, he grew increasingly anxious.

Pinglingji is in chaos right now. If we don't leave, we'll just be waiting to die!

"I know what to do."

Just then, Qin Shuyao suddenly spoke, her tone light and cheerful.

"Sister Shuyao, do you have a solution?"

Jiang Ping asked with surprise.

Qin Shuyao merely glanced at Jiang Ping without replying.

The way he looked at Jiang Ping revealed a certain...

Deep disappointment!

In her memory, Brother Jiang Ping had always been omnipotent!

How...

How come now that they've taken over Pinglingji left by Wu Xingzhou, they can't even hold onto Pinglingji?

"Shuyao, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing!" Qin Shuyao said, "Brother Jiang Ping, it's late, you should go back now."

"Sister Shuyao, it's all messy outside. I'm worried someone might come and bother you. I'd better stay and help you guard this house."

"No need," Qin Shuyao said. "I'm fine, you can go back."

Qin Shuyao abruptly and forcefully drove Jiang Ping out. Then she went to her study, unfolded a piece of paper, dipped it in rich ink, and wrote carefully on it.

"Xingzhou, although it's impossible for us to be together anymore."

"But that doesn't mean you've lost the chance to be good to me again."

"Right now, Pinglingji is in some danger."

"Come back and help me keep watch."

"I'll allow you... to bother me a little longer!"

When Qin Shuyao finally wrote the words "haunt me for a while," she felt her hands trembling and her heart aching.

After all, what she feared most was that Wu Xingzhou would pester her after their divorce, and she had even made many contingency plans for this. But now, she had no choice but to let Wu Xingzhou come back.

I felt a little annoyed.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

So, he blew the letter he had written to dry.

Immediately, he had a servant deliver it to one of Wu Xingzhou's personal guards.

Although she didn't know where Wu Xingzhou was, she knew that this former bodyguard of Wu Xingzhou would definitely be able to find him.

……

"General Wang Ming, General Wang Ming..."

Wu Xingzhou rushed into the tent, found Wang Ming, and exclaimed excitedly, "What a great opportunity! A fantastic opportunity!"

"That stupid woman Qin Shuyao wrote me a letter, asking me to go back and help her guard Pinglingji."

"Hahaha, wouldn't we be able to take Pinglingji without lifting a finger?"

Wu Xingzhou excitedly handed the letter to Wang Ming, then pleaded, "General Wang Ming, if you trust me, please give me a chance and give me three thousand men."

"Your subordinate guarantees that Pinglingji will be captured within three days and presented to the General and the Duke!"

Wang Ming nodded after reading it all.

Yes, that's more like it!

Yunjing, this is how you should fight!

He gestured for Wu Xingzhou to sit down, but did not speak immediately.

Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.

This made Wu Xingzhou's heart tighten, feeling that Wang Ming might not trust him. He quickly added, "General Wang Ming, if all else fails, give me five hundred men. You may send your personal guards. If they discover any disloyalty on my part, Wu Xingzhou, they must immediately execute me!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming shook his head.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Wu Xingzhou, but he had already received news from the scouts that Pinglingji was currently in chaos. It could be said that if he rushed there now, taking over Pinglingji would be a very simple matter.

Taking Pinglingji was, after all, a meritorious achievement.

He still wanted to go get it himself.

But right now, Wu Xingzhou is making this plea...

That's enough!

Let's give this opportunity to Wu Xingzhou.

So he said, "No need for that. Here's what I'll do: I'll muster five thousand men for you. You can lead them out immediately and help this general take Pinglingji!"
