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

"Did the man she married gain military power?"

"Did the man she married gain military power?"

Zhang Shi kept pondering those words, but the more he thought about them, the more confused he became. He couldn't understand it at all, so he asked, "Su Jin, Yun Wanyi is going to marry Xu Shang. Xu Shang would never surrender to us."

"Well, based on the information we've gathered, and Xu Shang's current performance..."

Su Jin was even more helpless. Just as she was about to explain, Zhang Shi's expression suddenly changed: "Su Jin, are you perhaps planning to have Yun Wanyi marry me?"

"Holy crap, are you here to play matchmaker?"

"Does Old Zhang have to get married to achieve merit?"

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Su Jin "..."

"Su Jin, what's with that expression?"

Su Jin sighed: "If Yun Wanyi marries you, will you be able to obtain military power in Huai'an City?"

"Of course I can't get it. How could the people of Huai'an City possibly recognize me? I'm not on their side. Their military power can only be in the hands of those people in the Huai'an City Lord's Mansion."

"That settles it." Su Jin was too lazy to say anything more. She felt that no matter how much she talked, Zhang Shi's brain was completely blank, and he couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Sure enough, Zhang Shi said again, "Oh, it wasn't me. Then I'm relieved. But if it wasn't me, then who was it?"

"No, Su Jin, you should explain yourself clearly!"

"Stop speaking in riddles!"

Su Jin: "..."

Wasn't she clear enough?

He couldn't help but sigh again, saying in an extremely helpless voice, "Xu Shang's twin brother, Xu Xia!"

After a pause, seeing that Zhang Shi couldn't figure it out for the time being, he said directly, "General Zhang Shi, how about you take me to see that Yun Wanyi, and I'll help you make this happen."

"When we take Huai'an, write my name on the report of achievements as well. What do you say?"

Zhang Shi wanted to refuse, but he swallowed the words back and nodded, saying, "Okay, you help me, and I'll remember your contribution."

"Thank you, General Zhang Shi!" Su Jin was overjoyed. After tidying up a bit, she followed Zhang Shi to the tent where Yun Wanyi was being housed.

The tent flap opened, revealing a woman with a rather dashing and heroic air, and a beautiful face.

Su Jin nodded.

Yun Wanyi herself is quite outstanding, so her prediction is most likely correct.

"Yun Wanyi, this is Su Jin, the Demon Suppression Envoy of the Yun Jing Demon Suppression Division."

Zhang Shi introduced.

Yun Wanyi dared not be negligent and immediately knelt down to pay her respects: "This humble woman, Yun Wanyi, greets Lord Su Jin. I beg Lord Su Jin to take pity on my voluntary surrender and treat my Yun clan leniently after the fall of Huai'an City."

Su Jin smiled, reached out and took Yun Wanyi's hand, inviting her to sit down, and said with a smile, "Miss Yun, since you have come to seek refuge, you must have learned about my Duke."

"Under the command of our Duke, the greatest honor is military merit. Since you have rendered service, your Yun clan will naturally be protected."

"But is merely preserving the Yun clan a bit too lenient?"

"Miss Yun, haven't you ever thought about ensuring that the Yun clan, even under the Duke's command, can shine brightly and prosper forever?"

Su Jin's words were easy to understand, but Yun Wanyi showed no surprise. Clearly, she had already considered it and even thought about it over and over in her mind.

Unfortunately, it was like a scholar encountering a soldier; it was difficult to speak directly, and Zhang Shi didn't know how to ask, so Yun Wanyi kept it to herself.

Su Jin spoke slowly, her demeanor like that of a friendly older sister, making him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze. He immediately replied, "Please enlighten me, sister."

"You already have a decision in mind, don't you?" Su Jin saw through her immediately and said, "Since that's the case, it seems you don't mind marrying Xu Shang's younger brother, Xu Xia, right?"

Yun Wanyi nodded.

"Does Xu Xia also have some ambitions?"

"Hmm." Yun Wanyi nodded and said, "Although he and Xu Shang are twin brothers, the Xu family is extremely biased, and Xu Shang has bullied him since childhood. He has endured and restrained it... I only recently discovered this."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin suddenly smiled.

He even glanced at Zhang Shi deliberately.

It also made clear why General Wang Ming repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, while Zhang Shi did nothing but flank and do useless tasks.

Yun Wanyi has made all the preparations and figured out everything. She only asks for the Duke's help. If it were General Wang Ming, he would most likely still take action, with General Wang Ming acting as a backup.

General Zhang Shi, however, always wanted to charge forward with great speed.

Will this work?

"Su Jin, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Is there something on my face?"

Zhang Shi asked, bewildered.

"It's nothing." Su Jin shook her head slightly, stood up, and said solemnly to Yun Wanyi, "Miss Yun, the great task of ascending to heaven is right before our eyes. Please make the trip."

"The Duke is fair in his rewards and punishments, and he will certainly not treat you or your Yun family unfairly in the future."

Yun Wanyi quickly stood up and then bowed again: "Sister Su Jin, with your words, I feel much more at ease. This time, I will definitely hand over Huai'an City without hesitation."

"However, I need some help from Sister Su Jin."

"Don't worry," Su Jin said. "General Zhang Shi is invincible across the grasslands. With him around, he can quell any force with his own strength."

Yun Wanyi was overjoyed. She then briefly shared her thoughts with Su Jin, who agreed with them one by one. Yun Wanyi said, "There's no time to lose, Sister Su Jin. I have to go back now."

"You get ready, and I'll get ready for you too."

Su Jin stood up and looked at Zhang Shi.

At this moment, Zhang Shi felt his head buzzing. As the saying goes, three women make a drama, but there were only two women in front of him chattering away, and he was completely confused, unable to grasp or understand anything.

It drove him even crazier than when he fought those barbarians on the grasslands.

"Su Jin, what exactly did you two say?"

"It's nothing, General Zhang Shi. Just wait to reap this tremendous reward," Su Jin said. "However, I'll need you to send some troops..."

"No problem, I can do it myself."

"Besides the troops..." Su Jin and Zhang Shi walked out of the tent together, "It would be best to send someone to accompany Yun Wanyi. Although Yun Wanyi is fine, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"Of course, I can also do something for Yun Wanyi."

"Send someone?" Zhang Shi was in a dilemma again. His men were known for their recklessness and fearlessness, but the person he needed to send was for a mission involving infiltration.

His men are really not good at it.

"I know that General Zhang Shi, you may not have suitable personnel under your command at the moment. What a coincidence! I just recruited someone who has not yet officially joined my Demon Suppression Division and is currently unaffiliated. If General Zhang Shi doesn't mind, I can lend him to you temporarily."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Shidao: "What's her name?"

"Lu Shuang!"
