The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented
Chapter 31 Give me back Yunji City, or I'll hang myself at the city gate!
Inside Yunji City, in the inner city barracks.
In front of the densely packed barracks connected to the city gate, several letters had already been posted on the city wall, attracting countless soldiers to look at them in the past two days.
Even if many of them were illiterate, they would listen to literate people at the city wall read out the meaning of each word.
Explain... the collusion between the former garrison commander Zhan Shubai and the barbarians.
Every explanation inevitably causes a huge uproar.
This time is no exception.
"Zhan Shubai has an audacity beyond belief! He actually dared to collude with the barbarians. He deserves to die, but he's dragged us all down with him!"
"Damn it, when Zhan Shubai was around, he bullied us every day, which was bad enough, since he held a high position and wielded great power, but colluding with barbarians... he's worse than pigs and dogs!"
"What should we do now? Zhan Shubai is colluding with the barbarians, but he's also our superior. Do you think the imperial court will investigate and punish us?"
"I'm afraid so. Haven't you heard? Those 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers were slaughtered simply for disobeying His Majesty's orders. Those 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers were the elite of our Great Yu, and they were treated like this. How can His Majesty possibly forgive us?"
"Are we all doomed to die?"
"We've toiled and suffered through hunger and cold, barely clothed, and finally, the imperial envoy arrived. Are we really going to die after only a couple of days of good weather?"
"I have an elderly mother to support and young children to feed. If I die, what will happen to my family?"
……
Panic spread, and everyone felt insecure.
The inner city barracks within Yunji City were like a powder keg.
A single spark can cause a massive explosion.
Ren Tianye, standing at a distance, silently observing everything, had eyes as deep and unfathomable as the sea.
After the Empress massacred 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers, chaos was bound to break out in the world. Not to mention the Great Yu territory, the barbarians alone, without the Red Beacon Army to suppress them, how could they not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Yunji City is located at the border between Dayu and the barbarian tribes. Although it is not on the main route for the barbarians to move south, it is still a stronghold against the barbarian army.
It was almost predictable that a great calamity was about to befall Yunji City!
If these seven thousand soldiers rise up in resistance early, they still have a chance to survive under the barbarian cavalry. But if they remain dazed and let things slide, it won't be long before Yunji City becomes a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Follow me, and I will protect your lives!"
and……
Ren Tianye's eyes narrowed.
The proverb goes: "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?"
They, too, have a chance to become kings, nobles, generals, and ministers!
"General..."
The personal guards who rushed over whispered, "Zhan Shubai is back. He's at the city gate. General Sun Xiang has already led his men to arrest him."
"He's back?" Ren Tianye's spirits lifted. "How many men did he bring?"
"Uh... just him alone!"
"Alone?" Ren Tianye frowned. "How can he retake Yunji City alone?"
"Could he be a seducer?"
"Are they trying to trick us into opening the city gates so they can hide an ambush?"
Ren Tianye analyzed the situation, but looking at the sky, he felt something was off.
On a bright, sunny day, someone is lying in ambush behind them? Do they really think the permanent sentry posts in Yunji City are just sitting around doing nothing?
It has to be a dark night with no stars or moon at the very least!
"What exactly is Zhan Shubai up to?"
Ren Tianye couldn't understand it.
The only solution is to remain unchanged amidst all changes!
They rode quickly to the city gate and saw Zhan Shubai being held captive by Sun Xiang's men, bound hand and foot, kneeling on the ground.
The clattering of hooves startled Zhan Shubai.
Zhan Shubai immediately raised her head, and the moment she saw Ren Tianye, her already aggrieved face was covered in tears, and her cries were deafening.
"Ren Tianye, you're shameless!"
"I guarded Yunji City day and night, and poured my heart and soul into building it, all to give His Majesty a gift in exchange for my return to the capital to be by his side."
"You, you, how could you steal it?"
"You stole it, how am I supposed to explain this to His Majesty?"
"Give me back Cloudridge City right now!"
"You must give it back to me!"
"If you don't pay me back, I..."
"I'll kneel here and cry!"
"I'll cry until you soften!"
"I'll cry until you admit it!"
"Cry until your conscience bothers you!"
Ren Tianye: "..."
No, brother, I really thought you realized what was going on and brought people to seize Yunji City, but instead, you pulled this stunt?
Still crying?
Damn it!
Ren Tianye couldn't help but feel his heart boiling again.
Damn it, these love-struck fools are so damn hard to guess what they're thinking!
"Ren Tianye, please give Yunji City back to me, okay?"
Seeing that Ren Tianye remained silent, Zhan Shubai assumed that Ren Tianye was wavering and quickly intensified his attack: "At worst, I'll admit defeat."
"From now on, you will be His Majesty's third mistress, and I will happily be the fourth."
"I'll never fight you for it again."
"Will it work?"
Ren Tianye: "..."
The surrounding soldiers: "..."
"Ren Tianye! What do you want from me to return Yunji City? I'm not even going to fight you for the position of mistress, isn't that enough?"
Zhan Shubai swayed as he tried to stand up, but Sun Xiang's men pressed him down. He was still unconvinced, and his tone became more intense.
He no longer looks like a child whose toy has been taken away.
"Ren Tianye, you must return Yunji City to me today!"
"otherwise……"
Zhan Shubai's eyes suddenly turned ruthless, his tone filled with a strong threat: "Otherwise, I'll hang myself right here at the city gate!"
"Let His Majesty know you're a despicable person!"
"If I can't be His Majesty's third mistress, then you can forget about being His Majesty's fourth mistress!"
creak creak...
Ren Tianye's fists were clenched so tightly they were cracking!
It wasn't because of Zhan Shubai's words, but purely because of Zhan Shubai himself.
He's quite skilled in combat and hardworking. If he were just a normal person and worked diligently as a general, he would surely bring benefits to the people. What...?
So you've become a total simp?
Licking it until it causes a nervous breakdown?
This outrageous female-oriented novel is always shocking and giving him "surprises"!
"Speak up, Ren Tianye!"
Are you scared?
"Hmph, if you're scared, then hurry up and agree to return Yunji City to me."
Coming to his senses, Ren Tianye nodded: "I was really scared, so scared!"
Zhan Shubai's eyes lit up: "So, you agree?"
"Okay!" Ren Tianye nodded. "I agree."
"They've agreed to return Cloudridge City to me?"
"I agree to hang you up!"
Ren Tianye's expression turned serious, and he coldly ordered, "Sun Xiang."
"Your subordinate is here."
"Fulfill General Zhan's wish and ask him to hang it on the city gate."
"yes!"
"If he can't get up there, you help him out. Make sure General Zhan is satisfied. Remember, when we do things, we aim for zero negative feedback!"
"yes!"
Although Sun Xiang didn't understand what Ren Tianye meant by "zero negative reviews," he understood that he wanted Zhan Shubai to be hung up.
To be honest, he had long wanted to hang Zhan Shubai up.
Grass!
He had never seen anything like this before, hanging someone at the city gate to threaten others. It terrified him.
He couldn't even eat dinner if he didn't help Zhan Shubai fulfill this wish.
So, amidst Zhan Shubai's furious roar, he was bound hand and foot and hoisted into the air by the combined efforts of the soldiers using a sturdy rope.
Zhan Shubai continued to roar.
Unfortunately, this time the service arranged for him to be suspended at the city gate focused on his neck.
After shouting for a while, Zhan Shubai stopped shouting.
The city gate of Yunji City finally quieted down!
