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

"General Zhang Shi, what's wrong?"

Guo Zhou asked in surprise.

"It's nothing!" Zhang Shi composed himself and asked, "Can you be sure that Shen Du is the father of this child?"

Guo Zhou shook his head and said, "I can't be completely sure, but I'd say it's about 80 or 90 percent."

"Later, I specifically investigated and found that Shen Du had been to this place during the time Yu Zhen was pregnant."

"I also asked Yu Zhen about the appearance of the young master Shen she mentioned, and then I went to the Linjiang Sandbar Water Village to ask others about Shen Du's appearance. The result was a high degree of matching."

"Furthermore, Yu Zhen clearly knows that the biological father of her child is surnamed Shen, so... I deduce that this child is most likely Shen Du's child."

"that is……"

Guo Zhou asked with some doubt, "What I'm not quite clear about is that, according to the information I've gathered, the Shen family of Linjiang Shazui Water Village has only had one son per generation for nine generations, and their bloodline has run out. Shen Du is the only remaining member of the family, and he doesn't have any children in public."

"But he never came to find Yu Zhen."

"I have some doubts."

"Is there some mistake?"

"Otherwise, Yu Zhen should be rich and powerful because of her son, and should be well supported by the Shen family."

Guo Zhou didn't understand, but Zhang Shi did.

Why?

Because Shen Duchun is in love!

He found a woman named Su Lanxiang from somewhere and fell deeply in love with her, neglecting everything else.

However, it doesn't matter anymore.

The Shen family of Linjiang Shazui Water Village is most afraid of losing their bloodline, so this child... should be sent to them!

Zhang Shi's eyes were terrifyingly bright!

As long as we capture this child, the small Linjiang Shazui Water Village will be within our grasp.

"So this is the right way to experience Yunjing!"

"This method..."

I would call it…

"An enhanced version of the Gale Style!"

Zhang Shi's confidence surged, and he immediately said to Guo Zhou, "Let's go, take me to find that Yu Zhen. As long as we find that Yu Zhen and take control of that child, you will have accomplished a great feat."

"Didn't you want this general to protect you?"

"Heh, as long as you help me find that child, you will be my hero. It would be pointless for me to protect you. In the future, I will recommend you to join the Demon Suppression Division."

"What kind of bullshit Alliance of Hearts is this? Before the Heart-Slaying Blade of my Demon Suppression Division, it's nothing but a chicken and a dog."

Guo Zhou was excited when he heard this.

"General Zhang Shi, I... I also have a chance to join the Demon Suppression Division?"

That's the Demon Suppression Division.

Just hearing its name is enough to make one yearn for it.

Guo Zhou was just a fisherman who made a living by fishing. How could he be allowed to join the Demon Suppression Division, which was granted special permission by the Yellow Springs and could act first and report later?

Is the ancestral grave about to emit smoke?

No, this must be an ancestral grave that's been destroyed.

Zhang Shi rolled his eyes at him: "You brat... you're a born Demon Suppression Division bastard!"

"If you had come into contact with the Demon Suppression Division earlier, you would be in a high position now."

"Alright, let's not delay, let's go."

Zhang Shi acted swiftly and decisively, immediately gathering a contingent of his personal guards and leading them away in a grand procession.

The light cavalry was extremely fast, and it took them less than half a day to reach the small town where Guo Zhou's family lived.

This small town, which was normally under someone's jurisdiction, was now completely deserted and undefended, with the great battle imminent and all troops drawn back to Pukou City by Zhou Xiong.

However, even with defense, it meant nothing to Zhang Shi.

The upgraded version of the Gale Style is his current core strategy, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten the basic version.

The skills learned from the grasslands are ingrained in one's very being.

In this flat area outside Pukou City, even if there were soldiers, they would only become victims of his blade.

"Zhang, Zhang, Zhang Shi, General, is right ahead..."

Guo Zhou was pale and breathless as he spoke, gripping the reins of his horse tightly with both hands, as if afraid of being thrown off.

It's obvious at a glance that he can't ride a horse.

Most likely, this is his first time riding a horse.

It was a direct raid.

To be able to grit one's teeth and persevere to this extent clearly demonstrates considerable resilience.

"Miss Su Jin will most likely like it."

Zhang Shi made a mental assessment.

He said, "Lead the way."

"yes!"

Despite the turmoil in his heart after the long march, Guo Zhou took a deep breath and walked at the front.

The posture on his face should also remain as arrogant as possible!

Yes, proudly!

Previously, he was worried about being hunted down by the Tongxin Alliance, and he fled like a stray dog, but now...

Guo Zhou is back!

Behind them followed General Zhang Shi's large army!

If you're not proud now, when will you be?

He strode ahead, drawing sidelong glances from passersby.

Soon, they arrived at the place where Yu Zhen was working.

Guo Zhou dismounted with a rather unorthodox, even clumsy, somersault and walked up to the trembling shopkeeper.

"Don't be nervous, I'm Guo Zhou, you know me. Um...where's Yu Zhen?"

"The backyard."

"Isn't she working today?"

"Please, I took a day off."

"Goodness, you dare to take time off work to raise a kid?"

"We don't usually invite people, but this time, it seems like something's up."

"Okay, I'll go see him."

Guo Zhou walked in slowly, his hands behind his back.

It was as if a thousand troops were following behind him.

Hmm... indeed, there are thousands of troops following behind!

……

backyard.

Just two years later, Yu Zhen was completely different from before.

Her once captivating beauty has faded.

The corners of her eyes and brows also showed signs of fatigue.

Dressed in ordinary work clothes, she was practically someone who would be hard to spot in a crowd.

Things are different now!

The hardships she has endured over the past two years have made her acutely aware of this matter.

Therefore, the plan that the Tongxin Alliance people made for her a couple of days ago has been lingering in her mind, causing her great distress.

"Miss Yu Zhen, someone like you was born to be a member of our Alliance of Hearts. How can you let an insignificant child hold you back?"

"If you ask me, you should open your heart, embrace a wider world, and pursue better love."

"If you find a way to put this child in Guo Zhou's house and then run away, then from now on you'll just be a pitiful woman who once met a scumbag."

"By then, with your qualifications, what kind of love would you like to pursue?"

"Miss Yu Zhen, please think it over carefully."

"If you've made up your mind, come back to our Alliance of Hearts. We'll definitely help you find a good husband so you can spend the rest of your life in the sweet embrace of love!"

These words kept echoing in my mind.

It echoed in my heart.

It gets more intense every day.

On the third day, Yu Zhen couldn't take it anymore.

"Yes, I'm just a pitiful woman who met a scumbag. How much worse am I than before? There's more than one Mr. Shen in the world. I still have plenty of wonderful love to pursue!"

"With the Alliance of Unity as my guarantor, what do I have to fear?"

"At worst, I'll just marry someone rich and powerful. Why suffer this pointless hardship here?"
