Su Xiu became increasingly angry as she spoke.

"Were all the families of those criminals executed? Especially the families of the ringleaders?"

Young Master Lu Jun said, "Except for a few who slipped through the net, everyone else has been punished."

Su Xiu immediately became dissatisfied: "How come there are still some who slipped through the net? Doesn't that fail to demonstrate His Majesty's iron-fisted methods?"

"Hmph, these stinking men, always looking down on us women. We've finally found a female sage ruler; how can we let these stinking men oppress us again?"

"If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't know that we women can hold up half the sky, no, a whole sky."

Su Xiu's reaction greatly surprised Young Master Lu Jun, who thought this woman would remain cold and indifferent to him.

Unexpectedly, when talking about such things, he was very talkative and extremely indignant.

One could only say, "The Crimson Beacon Army is indeed formidable. They were only able to annihilate them because they had just fought a bloody battle with the barbarians and cleverly employed a stratagem!"

"but……"

Young Master Lu Jun's face showed a hint of arrogance: "It's a pity that I am not the commander of the Imperial Guards, otherwise I would have made sure that the Red Beacon Army was wiped out, and none of their families would have escaped."

The two were discussing the true reasons and process of the annihilation of the 70,000-strong Red Beacon Army, while several passersby were shocked.

After quickly walking to the street, he immediately dropped his disguise, rode swiftly to the General's Mansion, and reported to Ren Tianye everything he had heard.

Ren Tianye was instantly stunned.

"What the hell?"

"Was the reason the Empress massacred 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers because their commander, Lin Yi, disagreed with her marriage to the third prince of the barbarian tribe?"

"No... I freaking!"

Ren Tianye couldn't help but want to curse.

Because of the arrival of Young Master Lu Jun in the city, several guerrilla generals, including Deputy General Wang Ming, were also excited.

"Has the Empress gone mad? Those are barbarians! The barbarians and the Great Yu have been enemies for generations. How can she marry a barbarian?"

"Does the Empress's actions reflect well on the soldiers who have died on the border over the past hundreds of years? Does she reconcile the civilians slaughtered by barbarians on the frontier?"

"Seventy thousand loyal souls, buried beneath the walls of Shanhe City because of the Empress's marriage! And the Empress married a barbarian! If these seventy thousand loyal souls knew this in the afterlife, how could they accept it?"

"No wonder Commander Lin was so opposed to the Empress's marriage and tried his best to stop it. It turns out that the Empress's husband is a barbarian! A barbarian! Commander Lin has spent his whole life fighting against barbarians and knows their wolfish ambitions. How could he possibly agree to it?"

……

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.

He felt indignant on behalf of the 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers, but at the same time, he was somewhat relieved that he hadn't been so decisive in killing Lieutenant General Zhang Wei and hadn't immediately captured Yunji City.

Given the Empress's temperament, the fate of these people will likely be extremely tragic!

But compared to these people, Ren Tianye was the most shocked.

At this moment, Ren Tianye connected all the events that had happened during this period.

In order to help the Third Prince secure his position, Empress Xiao Mingzhao ordered Zhan Shubai, the former garrison commander of Yunji City, to secretly communicate with the Third Prince and leak information to him.

This would enable the Third Prince to send men to pursue and suppress the First Prince's forces, thus helping the Third Prince to gain a foothold among the barbarians and even contend for the throne of the barbarian king.

This situation has likely been going on for quite some time, and now that the time is ripe, the Empress is eager to marry the third prince of the barbarian tribe.

To this end, she eliminated the ministers in the court who were obstructing her.

Especially Lin Yi, the commander of the 70,000-strong Red Beacon Army.

Can……

That third prince is a barbarian!

They are barbarians who have been enemies of the Great Yu for generations!

and……

Ren Tianye's eyes narrowed.

This third prince is not just a barbarian; he also has Japanese blood in him.

Those with barbarian bloodlines are bound to have wolfish ambitions.

The Japanese are of insidious and cunning blood.

Ren Tianye knew very little about the barbarian third prince, but he could already sketch out his image in his mind.

He must be a scoundrel with ulterior motives!

Empress Xiao Mingzhao's insistence on marrying the third prince of the barbarian tribe will surely bring great disaster in the future. In fact, it is highly likely that she will use the country as a dowry to destroy the eight-hundred-year-old Great Yu Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Ren Tianye couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

It was thought that once the news of the massacre of 70,000 Red Beacon Army soldiers reached the world, there would be turmoil. Now that the Empress is going to marry the third prince of the barbarian tribe, the barbarians will surely be restless without the Red Beacon Army to suppress them.

The chaos that is about to erupt in this world is likely to be more terrifying than expected; the seemingly calm sea is already turbulent.

It could unleash a monstrous wave at any moment.

A huge wave crashes down, and countless people will die.

But his current little boat is still too small. It's not even strong enough to withstand the storms, let alone contend for the world.

"It seems that we need to lay the foundation, develop, and mass-produce troops more quickly from now on."

With these thoughts in mind, he said to the spy who came to report, "Continue to monitor that young master Lu Jun. Report back immediately if there is any disturbance."

"yes!"

One general after another disguised themselves as ordinary people and passed by the Su residence, trying not to miss a single word or action.

However, they were shocked to discover that after so much time had passed, the second young lady of the Su family, Su Xiu, still had not invited the young master Lu Jun back to the Su residence, but instead had once again issued an order to leave.

"Young Master, it's getting late. The army is still waiting for you outside the city, so I won't keep you any longer. Please return."

Su Xiu became indifferent again, her face as calm as still water, her eyes revealing a sense of aloofness and arrogance.

But this appearance only made the young master more and more fascinated.

Countless women in the capital flocked to him; he could have any woman he wanted, but he didn't like women who were easily obtained.

Embroidery like Suzhou embroidery suits his taste perfectly.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard the tinkling of jade pendants mixed with noise. Looking up, he saw a group of people walking out of the gate of the Su residence.

He also recognized the man at the head of the group.

She was Su Xiu's eldest sister, Su Jin, who had gone to the capital with Su Xiu. It is said that she married a military officer with a powerful background.

But he didn't take a mere adjutant seriously. Even if this adjutant had countless connections in the capital, what connections were worth mentioning in front of him, the young master?

Behind Su Jin followed a squad of soldiers, which looked quite imposing.

He remained indifferent, but still greeted Su Jin politely: "Big sister, it's been a long time. Why do you look so elegant?"

"Young Master?" Su Jin was also quite surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Come and meet Sister Su."

Su Jin glanced at Su Xiu, then at the young master, and shook her head: "Young master, give up on that idea. Xiu'er is going to marry my general."
