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

"What?"

The clan chief looked at Shen Du, who had come looking for him, with a face full of shock: "You, you don't intend to surrender?"

"No, didn't we agree on that before?"

"Why are you suddenly not planning to surrender?"

"Besides, our Shen family has already met with General Zhang Shi and reached a verbal agreement!"

Shen Du said calmly, "Clan leader, you yourself said it's just a verbal agreement, it doesn't count."

"Besides, even if it counts, so what?"

"We're going to fight anyway!"

"Once a fight breaks out, we're enemies!"

"It's a fight to the death!"

"So...it doesn't matter!"

"We simply won't surrender!"

The clan leader nearly went mad, as did the Shen clan members who were following behind him.

They have made all the necessary preparations.

They were just waiting to get everything sorted out, and then march in a grand procession to surrender to General Zhang Shi and the Duke.

Now this has happened?

Isn't this deliberately provoking General Zhang Shi?

"Shen Du, you're not joking with me like that!"

"If our Linjiang Sandbar Water Fortress dares to do such a thing, it would be toying with General Zhang Shi. Hmph, General Zhang Shi was once a force to be reckoned with in the northern frontier. Our Shen family simply cannot withstand his methods!"

"Besides..."

"Our Shen family bloodline is still in General Zhang Shi's hands."

"Are you just going to stand by and watch our Shen family bloodline die out, or even be wiped out?"

These words, spoken with desperate force, revealed the most terrible consequences.

However, Shen Du, with his unwavering will, simply didn't care.

He said calmly, "So what if we sever the bloodline of the Shen family?"

"So what if our entire Shen family is wiped out?"

"None of these things matter to Lanxiang!"

"I've already promised Lanxiang I won't surrender to Ren Tianye. If Ren Tianye wants to take my water fortress, let's see if they can even break in!"

After conveying his firm resolve to his people, Shen Du turned and left. He had clearly offended Lan Xiang today, and he had to go and keep her company immediately.

This is the most important thing!

As soon as he left, the already noisy and excited Shen clan members were completely thrown into an uproar. In particular, after the news was passed on to all members of the Shen clan, the excitement among them was like a raging wave on the sea, earth-shattering.

"Has Shen Du gone mad? Before, he refused to continue the Shen family bloodline for the sake of a woman, and we accepted it and just waited it out. But what's the situation now?"

"If Shen Du does that, there's almost no doubt that our Shen family will be completely wiped out. The extermination of our clan is only a matter of time."

"Damn it, after all this time, the issue of the continuation of our Shen family line is not as important as a woman. I think we should just replace Shen Du and have someone else as the chieftain."

"That won't work. Shen Du is the only bloodline member of our Shen family, the only son in nine generations. If it's him, who can take his place? Us, the uncles, aunts, and brothers-in-law?"

"Heh... Shen Du was indeed the only son in nine generations before, but now... things are different!"

……

Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up.

Yes!

Now... things are different!

There's also another person with the bloodline of the Shen clan!

Although small, its bloodline is pure!

Then... there should be a solution!

……

Inside the post station.

"Shh...shh...shh..."

On the whetstone, a gleaming knife is being carefully sharpened, rinsed with water, and then rubbed by hand to feel its sharpness.

Only after the requirements were met did the deputy team leader sent by Zhou Xiong nod in satisfaction.

Knife, that's enough!

It's time to prepare for action!

"Vice-captain..."

A close aide said, "Are we really going to do this? This Linjiang Sandbar is Shen family territory. Assassinating Shen Du on their land...it's too dangerous!"

Despite such persuasion, the deputy team leader's expression remained unchanged.

Instead, he said calmly, "Danger?"

"You call this dangerous?"

"When General Zhang Shi leads his troops in, that will be truly dangerous!"

"That son of a bitch Shen Du shattered the good days I'd been hoping for, so I'll fight for them myself!"

"If he refuses, then he should die!"

"His wife must die too!"

As he spoke, the deputy captain's gaze swept over several of his entourage, and he said, "You all know what a joyous occasion it is for the Duke, so I won't go into details."

In short, if you give it a try, there will be a tomorrow!

"If you don't fight, you're just waiting to die!"

"Brothers who dare to risk their lives, come with me tonight to find Shen Du. Those who are afraid... hmph, just wait and see us feasting!"
